A "clean out the pantry" type of bread, with a bunch of grains, banana and honey. It's not perfect, or pretty, but it's sumptuous, it's satisfying and it's a sweet way to begin your week.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole wheat starter (fed or unfed) shopping list
- 2 tbsp buckwheat flour shopping list
- 1 tbsp warm water shopping list
- 1/4 tsp dry active yeast shopping list
- 1 tbsp honey shopping list
- 2 1/2 cups flour shopping list
- 1 cup whole wheat flour shopping list
- 1/2 cup large flake oats shopping list
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed meal shopping list
- 3 tbsp skim milk powder shopping list
- 1/2 tsp salt shopping list
- 1 tsp cinnamon shopping list
- 1/4 cup toasted buckwheat kernels (kasha) shopping list
- 2 medium overripe bananas, mashed shopping list
How to make it
- Combine the starter, buckwheat flour, water, yeast and honey in a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, stirring well to make smooth. Set aside for 1 hour.
- In a bowl, combine flours, oats, flaxseed meal, skim milk powder, salt, cinnamon and buckwheat kernels, whisking well.
- Gradually stir 1/2 the flour mixture into the yeast / starter blend, then add the mashed bananas, beating in well.
- Beat in the last of the dry ingredients to form a sticky but complete dough. You probably won't be able to knead it, but mix it vigorously (a stand mixer with a dough hook DEFINITELY helps!) for 6-8 minutes.
- Place into a greased bowl, lightly oil the top and cover. Let rise 1 1/2 hours, until doubled.
- Punch down and shape into a log. Place into a greased loaf pan and cover lightly, let rise another 30 minutes - 1 hour, until almost doubled.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Bake loaf for 30 - 35 minutes or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
