A tender, 100% whole grain loaf packed full of essential Omega-3 fatty acids from wheat germ, oats, flaxseed, soy, an egg and olive oil. This is a great start to your day, not the least due to the fact that a slice is both it's own cereal bowl and jam! Read more ! Ingredients:
8.1 oz (230 grams) strawberries, cut into pieces, divided |
1/2 tbsp instant yeast |
3 cups whole wheat bread flour |
1 cup rolled oats |
1/4 cup wheat germ |
1/4 cup psyllium fibre husks |
1/4 cup ground flaxseed |
3 tbsp whole flaxseed |
2 tbsp instant mashed potato flakes (optional, makes for tender crumb) |
1/2 tbsp salt |
1 cup low-fat soy (or dairy) milk, warmed |
1 cup warm water |
1/3 cup brown sugar |
1 egg |
1 tbsp olive oil |
1/2 cup (41 grams) strawberry-banana granola |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325 and line two baking sheets with parchment.
2. Spread 2/3 of the berry pieces on one sheet and 1/3 on the other, keeping pieces in one layer.
3. Bake 35 minutes, then remove the sheet with the lesser amount of berries on it and rotate the other sheet.
4. Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, until withered and slightly dried out See Photo. Set aside.
5. In a large bowl whisk together the yeast, flour, oats, wheat germ, psyllium fibre, ground flaxseed, whole flaxseed, potato flakes and salt.
6. In another bowl combine the milk, water and brown sugar, stirring to dissolve.
7. Add to the flour mixture and stir in to moisten, then add egg and beat well for 5 minutes.
8. Add olive oil and knead for 15-18 minutes, until elastic.
9. Cover and allow to rest 30 minutes.
10. Knead in the granola and roasted strawberries, trying to evenly disperse them throughout the dough See Photo. It will look like an impossible task, but they do all fit! See Photo
11. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
12. Shape into a loaf and place into a greased loaf pan.
13. Cover and allow to rise until almost doubled, about 1 hour.
14. Preheat oven to 350F.
15. Bake loaf for 40-45 minutes, tenting with foil if the top browns too quickly. See Photo
