6-grain bread is a simple and very tasty. This recipe was not actually planned, but eventually prevailed. Originally I had planned a breakfast porridge, however, I then had the idea for a simple bread. Wheat, rye, oats, barley, spelt and millet is in the wonderful mixture. Finally, I was once again surprised myself how delicious the result was. A crunchy, juicy and fluffy bread that keeps very well for several days. Let’s get started together.

6 grain bread make yourself

Basically, the preparation is very simple and it requires only a little patience and a high-powered blender or grain mill. The preparation of the dough is really simple. The grains are first ground in a high-powered blender or grain mill. I use my blender because I do not have a grinder at home and I am very happy with the result. A mill designed for this purpose has the advantage that the grains can be ground much finer. Therefore, I use in the recipe another part of light spelt flour, so that it is also nice and fluffy.

Ground 6-grain mixture, spelt flour, water, yeast, salt and maple syrup, that’s all the ingredients too. These are kneaded in a large bowl and allowed to rise for a while. When the dough has risen nicely and bubbles can be seen, then it is processed further.

TIP: I now prefer to let yeast dough rise for up to 24 hours, as it just feels better. After 1-2 hours you can also bake the dough, but a longer maturation time does it very good from my point of view.

Bake vegan bread yourself

Once the rising time is over, I put the dough into a lightly greased baking pan without further kneading. At the very end, cut horizontal stripes into the surface of the dough with a sharp knife and it’s off to the oven.

Why do I use a 6-grain mixture? Because it allows me to incorporate a wide variety into my diet. Often, out of sheer habit, we always use the same foods. In this context, a varied diet is the key to a healthy gut, which in turn is important for a resilient immune system. Experts advise eating at least 30 different plants (grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds) per week. With a 6-grain mixture makes a valuable contribution.

I use 6-grain mixture from Bohlsener Mühle, who provided me with a product sample. As part of the Veganuary, we want to promote a vegan, environmentally friendly and low-emission diet. Bohlsener Mühle has been processing organic grain since 1979, using electricity from renewable energy sources. I am very happy to support local companies with local products that value short distances, local partnerships and fair prices.
