Preparation

  • In a large airtight jar, place the ingredients for the multigrain mix, close the dish and stir for 1 minute.
  • Place boiling water in a large bowl and let cool for 20 minutes. Add 1 cup of multigrain mix, stir and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Add the brown sugar and yeast and mix well to dilute the sugar. Let stand for 7 to 10 minutes, until mixture begins to foam. Add vegetable oil.
  • Place bread flour, whole-wheat flour, bread improver and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix.
  • Add the yeast mixture to the bowl and knead with the dough hook for 4 minutes. Of course, you can also knead by hand. Add a little flour if the dough sticks to your hands.
  • Place the ball in a large bowl greased with cooking spray and cover with plastic wrap. Leave to rise for 45 minutes, until doubled in size.
  • Punch the ball to release the air and place on a floured work surface. Knead 20 times, then cut in half evenly.
  • Grease two loaf pans with cooking spray.
  • Using a rolling pin, roll out the two pieces to the width of the loaf pans and about 30 cm long.
  • Roll tightly from bottom to top, pinch the folds and turn over so that the folds are underneath. Fold the ends over slightly and place in the loaf pans.
  • Cover with a damp dishcloth and leave to rise for about 2 hours, away from drafts, until the bread bursts into height.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Carefully place loaves in oven on center rack and bake for about 30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 190°F.
  • Cool for 1 hour before unmolding. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for 2 hours before slicing! Keeps for about 1 week in an airtight bag, and freezes beautifully once sliced!
