This nutritiously delicious homemade bread with perfectly moist crumb and lightly chewy crust, made with soaked 5 grains, grape seed flour, and spelt bread flour along with liquid barley malt extract, which adds so much more flavour and complexity to the taste. Grape seed flour, naturally high in protein, and OPC (one of the most potent antioxidants known — 50 times as powerful as vitamin E), is known for its great taste and can be added to almost every meal.
Five Grain Spelt Bread with Grapeseed Flour and Malt Extract

- Pour the boiling water over crushed 5-grain mix in a large bowl. Cover and let it swell for at least 4 hours or overnight until the water has been all absorbed.
- Dissolve the fresh yeast and malt extract in the lukewarm water. Add in spelt bread flour, grape seed flour and salt. Stir for 2 minutes until combined. Now add in the soaked 5-grain mixture. Stir at low speed for 3 minutes, then increase the speed and knead for a further 5 minutes.
- Transfer the dough ono a floured work surface. Fold the dough a few times and shape into a round. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and rest for 25 minutes. Do a stretch-and-fold every 15 minutes. Line two loaf pans with baking paper.
Divide the dough into two portions and form each into a log. Place each into a loaf pan. Brush the tops with water and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds. Cover with kitchen towel and proof for 30 minutes. - At the same time, preheat the oven to 220C/410F with a shallow tray filled with water sitting at the bottom of the oven. Once the oven has reached the desired temperature, remove the tray filled with water and bake the loaves in the center of the hot oven for about 50 minutes.

Delicious! You've just reminded me that I have some grapeseed flour in my cupboard...
Cheers,

Wow I havent come across grape seed flour. You really are an incredible baker Angie.
Some unusual ingredients which I haven't seen before. Sounds healthy and looks great.
Beautiful loaf Angie and the red bow just sets it off. I'm not familiar with grape seed flour. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.
Have a nice weekend.

I don't think we get grapeseed flour here - sounds so interesting.

Never tried this combo.. Interesting.. Bread looks so soft and healthy
Angie..you should seriously consider opening up an artisan bread bakery..or writing a bread baking cookbook. Your breads are phenomenal! I've got to find me some grapeseed flour!
Wow these loaves are so pretty and perfect. I've never used 1/2 these ingredients, I will have to see if Whole Foods carries them. Where are you from? Such healthy loaves - and always beautiful!
Grainy, seedy breads are my favorite!!! This looks fantastic, Angie! I hope you saved me a slice :)
Grape seed flour sounds really good ! I've seen some spelt flour here , at last :D Another wonderful and nutritious bread , Angie !
I love that this bread uses malt as it would molasses. My grandfather used to use it that way and I always think I should give it a try. So many seeds, it`s gorgeous Angie!
What a beautiful loaf of bread! I love that you used pepitas for a nutty like crunch!
You have introduced me to the most unique flours to add to my baking. This loaf looks tremendous! XOXO
These are some of your prettiest pictures yet. Wishing I could live next door to you (I'd be "borrowing" a lot of flour). Grapeseed flour? Where do you get your ingredients?
@Claudia I buy baking ingredients from online gourmet food stores and amazon.
Very nice recipe....
Alright, that's it! I realllllly need to find some spelt flour! Not to mention liquid barley malt, I've never heard of it. wonder if they sell it here in the States?
I have never used grape-seed extract. What an interesting bread Angie, I like its dark colour and its texture. Very healthy and very tasty. X
You always giving a new ingredient in your dish Angie,
never had grapeseed fluor before, just known the grapeseed oil before...
i'm on seach for that from now on
I would love a slice with some aged cheddar on top! This looks so good, Angie. I don't know if I'll be able to find all of the ingredients but I'll be looking :)
Another bread to add to my what to bake list. Funny you used the barley malt, I wanted to make a roll recipe a couple weeks ago and it called for it, wasn't sure I had ever seen it. I guess I need to look harder, huh. Hope you are having a good weekend.

you are such an amazing bread maker
This is such a hearty and healthy loaf. Thanks for explaining the benefits of the grapeseed flour. I gotta to hunt some down to make this bread.
A lovely bread indeed and beautiful clicks. I am sure it tastes great with the wonderful texture.
I know people tell you this all the time, but you need to open a bakery Angie, this looks amazing and the photos are so pretty!
Different and delicious bread, wish I could bake like you..
Grapeseed flour!? Angie one of my favourite things about your blog is all the new and interesting ingredients you introduce me too! And I can't believe that bread can be made with so many wonderful things.
Looks delicious! This will be perfect with some homemade butter. Yum! :)
You have the most unique and delicious bread recipes Angie! This is gorgeous!
More gorgeous, saliva invoking photos!
The liquid barley malt is a great addition here and I can well imagine how much flavor it would add to a loaf like this. It looks beautiful too - like all of your work Angie :).
I have no idea there were so many breadmaking ingredients until I started follow you. I've never heard of grapeseed flour, but I have seen the 5 grain mix. This bread looks moist and delicious! Love the addition of the pumpkin seeds.
this is my bread, now I am starting to love any bread with grains added, more healthy!
you are responsible for some of the heartiest, most unique and delicious breads my two eyes have ever seen! this one's another winner, for sure. :)
Am learning so much from your posts, never knew about grape seed flour and the nutritional benefits. I have never seen that before. I need to have a much closer look at the health food shops locally.
Breadmaster was again making bread! :) Oh dear, how many bread recipes have you got there :D
Your bread recipes are really an eye-opener for me. Also getting to know the various kinds of flour that you use.
Another impressive loaf!! Mbec that molasses adds perfect touch.
Absolutely gorgeous loaf of bread Angie, and wish I could eat it! So curious about the grapes seed flour. I've never heard of that before, but will definitely be on the lookout, to use in some gluten-free baking.
Hi Angie, I really love all your very healthy loaves of bread, this one is no exception!
Angie, you always made the most pretty and healthy bread. Wish I can have a slice :)

Gorgeous loaf! I have never heard of grape seed flour!
I don't think I've ever seen grape seed flour before! I'm going to have to look for that. :)
Angie,your bread is gorgeous, healthy, and delicious...just reading your response back to a comment about where to find gourmet ingredients for the bread; surprised to hear that Amazon has the grapeseed flour?...I only bought electronics and kitchen wares from them. Will check it further!
I've started to bake breads recently and I'm glad I did but also I regret doing it so late. Homemade bread is so much different and delicious. Yours look amazing.
Another beautiful and healthy bread from your kitchen! It sounds so good. You amaze me with your creativity.
Oh Angie...I am such a fan of your bread. This one is absolutely gorgeous. A lovely crumb and a beautiful color! : )

Another gorgeous bake Angie :D
grape seed flour! Gosh, how many different kind of flours are there in the market ? Now I am curious to look for this too. My list is getting longer and longer :)
The bread sure does look perfect with neat pockets.
I've never baked with malt extract but i bet it adds such great flavor to this bread!
I wish I had your eye for food styling. Your pictures are always so creative!
This looks and sounds outstanding! I have to do more of this type of baking. I hope your week is off to a great start. Blessings...Mary
If I have not been here repeatedly, I would bet this is from a professional bakery : )!
What hearty and soft looking bread!
That's one gorgeous loaf of bread, Angie! The texture looks absolutely perfect. xx
What a gorgeous, dark, nutty bread, Angie. You are the best bread maker!
I love all the new ingredients you introduce me to!
This is the first time I've seen grapeseed flour and the cake looks beautiful. reminds me of pumpernickle because of how 'dense' it looks, but delicious all the same!
This bread looks so moist and dense and full of flavour. There is nothing better than homemade bread xx
I alove all your breads Angie, you are an amazing baker:)
Healthy loaf of bread...you are the best!!
Spelt has become one of my favorite flours, and I've always loved grain breads so this is the perfect recipe for me. Thanks for sharing Angie!
I can't stop staring at your beautiful photos, Angie! So inspiring, as is this recipe!
Mmmm, the addition of the malt extract to all of the five grains in this bread has got to enhance the flavor tremendously Angie! Such good eating in your home! Totally jealous!
Hugs,
Roz

Angie,
I have tried twice to contact you through the contact link at the top of your blog and it has failed to go through for whatever reason. Here is my request that I was trying to send to you:
Dear Angie,
As one of my favorite food bloggers, I would like to invite you to write a guest blogger post for my blog "La Bella Vita Cucina" while I am away on vacation between May 18th and May 25th.
If you'd like to do this, all I ask is for you to prepare something "Italian" in focus and to inform your readers of your wonderful and delicious posts and to share your post on Pinterest and Google+
Also, if you could send your post to my email a few days earlier than the date that you select, along with your photos, it would be most appreciated!
Angie, I hope to be able to use this opportunity to introduce you and your delicious blog and recipes to my readers and my 12,000 followers. Please let me know when you'd enjoy being a guest poster on "La Bella Vita Cucina".
Thanks,
Roz
