Multigrain Bread Recipe, How To Make Healthy Multigrain Bread

Healthy multi-grain seed bread

Multigrain Bread- I love making my own bread. Making bread is a joy and a passion,the smell of freshly baked bread filled in the house makes you happy and first sight of the wonderful baked bread fresh from your oven makes you feel awesome .Bread baking is not a tough task if you get the right recipe and good yeast then in one or two trails you can get your perfect bread recipe.

To make bread few things should be taken care of – the quality of yeast, the temperature of water in which you have to mix the yeast should be right ,too hot temperature can kill the yeast and if the yeast will not froth properly then discard it and make a fresh one again.

Kneading should be done properly for about five minutes, over and under proving should be avoided as it also effect the result. Rest every thing is quite simple so bake and enjoy your fresh Healthy Multigrain bread!

To make this Multigrain bread I have used finger millet/ragi flour and maize flour/ makki ka atta but you can use any healthy flour to add in this bread .Sunflower seeds ,pumpkin seed or even char magaz/melon seeds can be added as par your preference and availability of ingredients  at home.

I do bake regularly and my favourite are-

• Basic white bread ,
• Sun dried tomato ,olive and herb bread 
• Olive and rosemary Foccacia 
• Blueberry Muffins.
•  Orange and tutti frutti Cake

Notes

1. As sunflower seeds are not easily available in small centers in India so you can also use char magaz/melon seeds or pumpkin seeds.
2. you can substitute Ragi and maize flour with gram flour/besan and soybean flour .
3. The rising time of the dough depends on the temperature in the climate,it takes longer to prove in winters.
