Recipe Instructions:
-
Heat water, yogurt, and vegetable oil to boiling. In a saucepan, combine the water, plain yogurt, and vegetable oil. Heat the mixture until it reaches a boil, then remove from heat.
-
Stir in oats, wheat germ, and bran. Once the mixture has cooled to a very warm temperature (approximately 30 minutes), add in the oats, wheat germ, and bran. Mix well to combine.
-
Set aside until cooled to very warm (about 30 minutes). Allow the mixture to cool to a very warm temperature, ensuring it’s not too hot to the touch.
-
Meanwhile, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, brown sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix until well combined.
-
Stir in the cooled bran mixture, 1 egg, and enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Add the cooled bran mixture and one egg to the dry ingredients. Gradually add in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
-
Knead until smooth, about 6-8 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes.
-
Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
-
Divide the dough and place it in well-greased loaf pans. After the dough has rested, divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a loaf and place them in well-greased loaf pans.
-
Cover and let double in size. Cover the loaf pans with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise until it has doubled in size, approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
-
Bake at 350°F until golden brown. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough has doubled in size, uncover the loaf pans and bake the bread in the preheated oven until it’s golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom, about 25 to 30 minutes.
-
Enjoy! Once baked, remove the loaves from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before slicing. Serve your homemade Multi Grain Bread warm with your favorite spreads or enjoy it plain for a wholesome snack or meal accompaniment. 🥖🍞🌾
