- Multi-Grain Sourdough Boule'
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup Harvest Grains Blend
- 2 cups Sourdough Starter, fed and ready to use
- 1-3/4 cups King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour
- 1-3/4 Artisan Bread Flour or King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 2-1/2 t. salt
- 1-1/2 t. instant yeast
- 2 T vegetable oil
- Topping: 1-2 T. Artisan Bread Topping or your favorite blend of Seeds
1. In a large mixing bowl combine the Harvest Grains Blend and boiling water. Let cool to lukewarm.
2. Add the fed sourdough starter and the remaining dough ingredients, mix and knead by- hand, mixer, bread machine, or food processor-
until you've made a soft dough, adding additional water or flour as needed.
3. Cover the dough in the bowl, and let it rise until it's almost doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly greased work surface, and gently fold it over a few times to deflate it. Shape it into a large round.
5. Cover the round with lightly greased plastic wrap. Or place in a round covered baker that has been sprayed with a non-stick baking spray and sprinkled with cornmeal. Put on the cover . Let the loaf rise until it's very puffy, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Towards end of the rising time, preheat oven to 425.
6. Just before baking, brush with water and sprinkle with Artisan Bread Topping. Use a lame or a very sharp knife to make four slashes across the top of the loaf, in a crosshatch pattern.
7. Bake the bread for 40 minutes, uncover the loaf if in a covered baker and continue to bake 10-15 minutes more or until the loaf is golden brown and an instant read thermometer inserted into the center registers 190. (A loaf baked on a baking sheet will need to bake for 38 to 45 minutes total)
8. Remove bread from the oven, let sit in the baker for 5 mins., cool on wire rack.
