Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 tbsp yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 tbsp salt
  • 4 cups sprouted whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup sprouted rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup ancient grains & seeds

Instructions
 

  • Sprinkle the yeast into the bowl of your stand mixer. Slowly add the warm water and maple syrup, and mix gently until the yeast dissolves. Allow the yeast mixture to sit for about 5 minutes until it starts to foam.
  • Using the regular paddle attachment on your mixer, slowly incorporate 2 cups of flour, along with the salt and oats or seeds, into the yeast mixture. Mix on the lowest setting until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary.
  • Switch to the dough hook attachment and gradually add the remaining flour as you knead the dough. The amount of flour may vary depending on the type of whole wheat flour you’re using. The dough should come together and release from the sides of the mixing bowl, but it should still be slightly sticky.
  • Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. Using the “proof” setting on your oven is a convenient option for this step.
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air pockets. Shape it into one prepared 9″ x 5″ loaf pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the dough rise again for about an hour.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and the loaves sound hollow when tapped.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Once cooled, store it in a bag or airtight container for up to 5 days. Despite being homemade, this bread stays moist and fresh tasting, making it perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoying on its own.
