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
adapted from Brot-Bernd Armbrust©angiesrecipes
|
- 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.
The texture of the bread looks wonderful. Sounds healthy and delicious. I love your pictures.
ReplyDeleteWow! Looks healthy and yummy! Lovely clicks! :)

ReplyDelete:-) Mandy xo
Never tried this combo.. Interesting.. Bread looks so soft and healthy
ReplyDeleteAngie..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!
ReplyDeleteWow 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!
ReplyDeleteGrainy, seedy breads are my favorite!!! This looks fantastic, Angie! I hope you saved me a slice :)
ReplyDeleteGrape seed flour sounds really good ! I've seen some spelt flour here , at last :D Another wonderful and nutritious bread , Angie !

ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful loaf of bread! I love that you used pepitas for a nutty like crunch!
ReplyDeleteYou have introduced me to the most unique flours to add to my baking. This loaf looks tremendous! XOXO
ReplyDeleteThese 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?
ReplyDelete@Claudia I buy baking ingredients from online gourmet food stores and amazon.
ReplyDeleteVery nice recipe....
ReplyDeleteAlright, 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?
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteYou always giving a new ingredient in your dish Angie,

ReplyDeleteI 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 :)
ReplyDeleteAnother 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.
ReplyDelete-Gina-

Angie,
ReplyDeleteI 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
