Years ago, a friend of mine gave me a gift certificate to King Arthur Flour for Christmas, and thus started my love for that company. I have been using their products ever since. This Harvest Grain Sandwich Loaf uses their Harvest Grains Blend, which I love to add to my whole wheat bread recipes.
The mixture includes whole oat berries, millet, rye flakes, and wheat flakes, as well as four seeds: flax, poppy, sesame, and sunflower. This bread stays soft and makes perfect breakfast toast or sandwich bread.
Ingredients Needed to Make Harvest Grain Sandwich Loaf
- warm water
- small-curd cottage cheese
- honey
- vegetable oil
- kosher salt
- large egg
- all-purpose flour
- whole wheat flour
- Harvest Grains Blend
- wheat germ
- yellow cornmeal
- instant yeast
- egg white + water to make egg wash
- sesame seeds for topping
Instructions for Making This Recipe
Begin by gathering all your ingredients and having them close at hand on the counter or table.
In a large mixing bowl using a dough hook, add water, cottage cheese, honey, vegetable oil, kosher salt, egg, and 2 cups all-purpose flour. Mix together until smooth.
In a small bowl, combine whole wheat flour, Harvest Grains Blend, wheat germ, cornmeal, and yeast. Gradually add to wet mixture to make a soft dough.
Continue kneading with dough hook or turn out onto a floured surface to knead by hand. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-8 minutes. Sometimes I prefer to knead my dough by hand, but it’s completely up to you.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 60-90 minutes.
When dough has doubled, gently punch down. Let rest for 10 minutes.
Shape into a loaf, by rolling or patting it into a rectangle large enough to fit the pan. Then starting with one long edge, roll up, cinnamon roll style. Pinch edges to seal and tuck ends under. Place seam side down in a lightly greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise until double, 40-60 minutes.
Cover bread dough with either plastic wrap, sprayed with baking spray or a light cotton tea towel, making sure to cover all areas of the dough to protect it from air drying.
In a small bowl, beat egg white and water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg mixture over the top of the dough. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to cool on a wire rack. Makes 1 loaf.
