About the Recipe

If you want to serve a homemade bread that combines the taste and goodness of grains, this multigrain bread is just what you need! Although baking may seem like a complex art, with a bit of patience and the right ingredients, you can achieve truly extraordinary results. This tried-and-true, simple recipe will help you create a rustic and fragrant bread that will win everyone over.

Ingredients

  • 400g of whole wheat flour

  • 100g of sourdough starter

  • 300ml of lukewarm water

  • 10g of salt

  • 50g of sunflower seeds

  • 50g of flaxseeds

  • 50g of sesame seeds

Preparation

Step1

In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, sourdough starter, and lukewarm water, and knead until you have a smooth, homogeneous dough.


Step2

Let it rest for 10 minutes, then incorporate the various seeds and salt.


Step 3

Cover the mixture with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 2-3 hours, or until it doubles in size. During this time, give the dough a few folds to strengthen it (about every hour).


Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased and floured bread mold and let it rise for another hour.


Step 5

Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F) and bake the bread for about 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown.


Why I Love this Recipe:

love this multigrain bread because it’s a true journey into the world of baking, an art that has always fascinated me but also intimidated me for years. With a little patience and plenty of experiments, I’ve finally found this recipe that yields exceptional results in little time and with just a few steps. It's easy to prepare and requires just a bit of waiting for the rising, but the satisfaction of pulling your own loaf of bread out of the oven is priceless! My favorite version? Super simple with a bit of butter and jam, or with ricotta, honey, and figs.
