I was inspired by the Harvest Grain Blend that King Arthur Flour sells, but being in Canada, the cost of shipping is prohibitive enough to make me come up with my own version. Add 1/2 to 2/3 cup to your favourite bread for extra crunch, flavour, and nutrition! I suggest replacing 2 tbsp of each cup of flour with the mixture as a starting point. I've also added some barley flakes and 7 grain cereal to my mix. Store in a tightly sealed container. Another way to use the mix is to make a "soaker", which you do by pouring 1 cup of hot water over 2/3 cup of the mix, and allowing it to soak overnight. Then add this to your bread mix, ensuring to subtract out the 1 cup of water and 2/3 cup of flour from the recipe you're working with.

SERVES 144 , 12 loaves (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup rye flakes
1 cup wheat flakes
1 cup whole oat groats (also known as oat berries)
1 cup millet
1 cup barley (barley flakes, not barley) (optional)
1 cup seven-grain cereal (optional)
1/2 cup flax seed
1/2 cup poppy seed
1/2 cup sesame seed
1/2 cup sunflower seed

Directions

1
Mix all ingredients together. Store in tightly sealed container.
2
To use, substitute mix flour, using 2 tbsp per 1 cup of flour. To use soaked (which will make it less crunchy, and more chewy), add 1 cup hot water to 2/3 cup of the mix, and allow to sit, covered overnight. Ensure when adding to your flour mix to subtract the water and mix from your recipe's water and flour.

Delicious and nutritious! I did the overnight soak method and used it in my Whole Wheat Bread (A B M), so now my innocent wheat bread is on the equivalent of steroids! lol! Thanks, Katzen! Made for Veggie Recipe Swap.

I originally tagged this to use on my own, but then decided to use it as part of your Multigrain Sunflower Sourdough Bread #384106 & it all turned out just great! I followed your introductory instructions in the sourdough bread recipd for amounts & went on from there! Wonderful, wonderful taste combo what with all those flakes & seeds (just the kind of bread that satisfies me)! AND, I've got a lot of this grain blend to bake more bread (I can think of a handful of friends who'd love to be gifted a loaf!) ~ Thanks for a great recipe!
