This is an easy everyday bread made with a mix of coarse bulgur, wholewheat and all purpose flours. The bread has a softer, springy texture and a mellow, slightly sweet taste from nutty bulgur and honey. It is excellent for sandwiches, or toast.
Bulgur, a Middle Eastern staple made from precooked wheat berries, has a wonderful nutty flavour and a lighter texture than cracked wheat made from raw wheat berries.

  • 50 g Bulgur
  • 85 ml Boiling water
  • 390 g Whole wheat flour
  • 200 g All purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp Wheat germ
  • 8 g Table salt
  • 20 g Fresh yeast
  • 420 ml Water, lukewarm
  • 80 g Honey
  • 4 tbsp Olive oil
  1. Place bulgur in a large bowl. Add in the boiling water. Set aside to soak for an hour until tender. Line two loaf pans with parchment paper.
  2. In the bowl of your stand mixer, stir together the flours, wheat germ, and table salt. Crumble the fresh yeast over.
  3. Stir water, honey, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil into the puffed bulgur. Pour the mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix at first at slow speed for 4 minutes or until the dough comes together then increase the speed and stir until the dough has become smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
  4. Turn out the dough and shape into a ball. Grease the mixing bowl with a little bit oil. Return the dough to bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or plastic wrap, and let dough rise for about an hour or until doubled in size. Punch down, and divide the dough into three portions. Round up each portion of dough. Cover them with a kitchen towel and rest for 10 minutes.
  5. Deflate the dough ball. Shape two of them into balls and one into a log. Place two dough balls in the larger pan, and the log into the smaller pan, then brush the tops with olive oil and dust with some whole wheat flour. Cover and let rise 1-2 hours until doubled in volume.
  6. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Cut an 1/2 inch deep slash down the length of the loaves. Bake in the center of the hot oven for about 40-50 minutes until nicely brown. Cool in the pans on a rack for 5 minutes. Turn out and cool.

I've never made bread w/ bulgur before - but I love the look and sound of these loaves...adding it to my to-try list for future bread baking endeavors! I hope you'll drop by and share this with this month's edition of BYOB-#BakeYourOwnBread, Angie! (http://www.girlichef.com/2012/07/byob-bake-your-own-bread-july-12-some.html) =)

I've so far tried 30% of your bread recipes. This looks delicious and I think I may add some nuts in it. Thanks for sharing :)

[Reply]
Ivy 29/7/12 20:04

Lovely bread. I never imagined that it could be used to make bread. Bulgur, is not only a Middle Eastern staple but its use is most common in Europe as well.

[Reply]
Elisabeth 29/7/12 20:44

What a great combination, Angie! Bulgur and whole wheat together in a beautiful and perfect healthy bread...totally genius! I'm craving this wonderful bread. How come they don't sell these even in the best gourmet bread shops? You should have you own gourmet bread shop. Guaranteed it would be a huge success:D

[Reply]

Hi Angie,
The bread looks good in appearance. I am sure it would be delicious too.
I purchase bread from bakeries near to my house but I did not try to prepare one yet. Your post would be helpful to try as a start.

Thanks for sharing it.

This is such a unique use of bulghur. Being Middle Eastern, we use it in our home several times a week. I have never thought to express it in a western-style bread. Lovely share!

[Reply]
Eva 30/7/12 15:06

What an interesting bread; I wonder if the bulgur adds texture to the bread?

[Reply]
Ana Regalado 30/7/12 15:39

Angie , these are gorgeous bread ! I've seen these kind of bread here but they don't list bulgur as an ingredients :P Or maybe it's just the same color :D Sounds like it has this interesting texture with those grains you've used !

[Reply]
Vicki Bensinger 30/7/12 15:46

Hi Angie,
I tried this yesterday ! It works!
My family like the bulgur whole wheat bread so much! Thank you for making me look like a professional cooker. :)
you must submit your bulgur whole wheat bread photos on Food Photography to make others hungry?
You know it’s fun to do that. LOL. Hey, probably they would do this recipe too. :)

Wow! I've been rounding up a bunch of bread recipes to try and this is the fist I've seen with bulgur. My family is Armenian so we always have bulgur on hand. I look forward to testing this out :)

[Reply]
Ilke 9/8/12 05:44

I am totally making this! Have so much bulgur at home. Coarse, fine, medium whatever you want. Is it ok to skip wheat germ or is it required for the texture?

[Reply]
Angie's Recipes 9/8/12 06:04

@Ilke
It's optional. I have also baked this without using wheat germ and it's perfectly all right.
