7-Grain Bread is a healthy choice, but also the pleasure of savoring rustic bread like it used to be, crunchy outside and soft inside. The blends of various flours give a wonderful aroma, and the sesame and sunflower seeds make it even more special. With this bread, you can accompany different dishes or use it for a healthy and wholesome breakfast. There is nothing more rewarding than making bread at home. For this recipe, you will only need pre-mixed flour, like the one I chose, water, salt, yeast, and I also added a bit of malt to give more color and crispiness. You can choose the shape you prefer, like a ring, loaves, ciabatta, rolls, etc. I preferred to make a large flatbread baked in an iron tray, but any baking sheet is fine. Just give it a try!!
