Instructions
Sprouting of Wheat
  1. Please check instructions on instructions of the sprouting of grains.

Sourdough
  1. Add all ingredients in a 7 qt mixing bowl, mix well, cover, and leave overnight. Please check how to make the sourdough starter.

Soaking Mass
  1. Add all ingredients in a separate bowl, mix, cover, and leave overnight.

Making of the dough
  1. Add all ingredients into the large 7 qt mixing bowl.

    Attach dough hook on KitchenAid and mix with low speed (1) for 7 minutes then increase speed to 2 for 15 minutes.

    The dough is very sticky and you may have to scrape down dough from the side to assure proper mixing. You can add a little flour if you feel it is too wet.

  2. Now cover and let the dough rest for 30 min at room temperature.

  3. Oil and flour two bread loaf pans.

  4. Prepare a seed/ flour mix in a plastic bag: 1/4 cup each oat flakes, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, hemp seeds

  5. Clean a surface, and add a silicon map, oil spray, and dust with flour. Do the same with your hands or gloves (it is a sticky dough) and use a tool to take out the dough. Divide the mass into two. Roll each part in the seed mix and transfer it into the loaf pan.

Proofing
  1. Cover both pans with food-wrap plastic and secure with a rubber band.

  2. Proof for 180 min at 80 F in a proofing oven, or let stand at room temperature.

Baking
  1. Add a small aluminum pan on bottom of the oven, which you fill later with boiling water

  2. Preheat to 250 C = 485 F (conventional heating from bottom, we use a pizza stone. The rack is not in the middle but a little more down.

  3. Put 1 L of boiling water in a container

  4. Remove plastics and put the loves on an aluminum sheet

  5. Put the sheet with the pans in the oven

  6. Wear protective glasses (Steam) when you pour the boiling water into the aluminum pan.

  7. Close increase temperature to 260C, 500 F and put the timer on 10 min

  8. After 10 min reduce the temperature to 240C, 464F

  9. After 20 min (total 30 min) reduce 230C, 446F

  10. After 20 min (total 40 min) reduce 220, 428F (loaves should be brown but not turning black

  11. After 20 min (total 60 min) turn off and let rest for 10 min (loaves are dark brown and when you knock on the bottom they sound hollow.

  12. Remove from pan and let cool on cooling rack for a few hours.

Recipe Notes

Usually, I cut the bread in smaller portions, which I vacuum pack and freeze. Please, use only a light vacuum. When you want to eat it take it out of the freezer and thaw it and then bake it at 350F for 5 to 10 min,

The bread is delicious and has a high protein content.
