Unbleached enriched flour [wheat flour, malted barley flour, reduced iron, niacin, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid], water, sourdough starter (cultured wheat flour, water), cracked wheat, salt, cultured wheat flour (to preserve).
Kind of new to break making but this worked pretty well. I was as precise as possible with my measurements and weighed out the flour, but I needed to add about an extra 1/2 cup of flour; my dough was too tacky with just 6 cups of flour. I also had to bake the loaves a good 5 minutes extra (45+) before getting the inside to 200-205 degrees. This bread seems to be a bit more delicate than standard white bread, probably due to the cracked wheat. However, it is tasty and good. I might also add a bit more salt for my preference.

Can this be made in a bread machine? I tried a cracked wheat recipe from a bread machine book, although I followed the recipe and weighed out the ingredients on a food scale, it looked to wet throughout the processes and completely sank in the middle. I tried the end of the bread and it had a wonderful flavor, I would really love to try it again. I need to use a bread machine though for medical reasons. Thanks!
Would I be able to add sunflower seeds to the dough and raw pumpkin seeds to the top or would that be too much? I used to go to a bakery and buy sunflower millet bread and when looking for a recipe for it I came upon your cracked wheat bread recipe which looks so good.Also if I halved this recipe would I use two standard size bread pans to bake it in?
The bread the rural Southern European populations traditionally consumed was brown and made from whole wheat flour, often mixed with barley, ground in stone mills and prepared using a homemade spontaneous sourdough starter and not a commercial agent. Traditionally, sourdough bread refers to bread leavened using a sourdough starter (a natural leaven), which is a mixture of flour and water inhabited by so-called wild yeasts and bacteria that cause the dough to rise and give it its distinguishing flavor. During fermentation a lactic acid bacteria and yeast ecosystem is created. Refreshing the starter almost daily by adding new flour and water to the mixture keeps the microorganisms in an active state. Yeasts, which are the primary producers of CO2 in sourdough, are considered responsible for the leavening process. Both homo-fermentative and hetero-fermentative lactic acid bacteria are responsible for dough acidification: the former produces lactic acid and the latter lactic acid plus CO2, acetic acid, and/or ethanol [3].
Sourdough fermentation of wheat flour dough significantly lowers the GI of bread by reducing the rate of starch digestion, mostly through the formation of organic acids that delay the absorption of starch [4, 5]. Starch is absorbed more slowly in the presence of lactic acid due to the inhibition of amylolytic enzymes [6], and its bioavailability is reduced due to the interaction between starch and gluten [7]. Acetic acid delays the gastric empting rate [8].
One of the components of the traditional Mediterranean diet, wholemeal sourdough bread is part of a low GI diet. Low GI/GL diets offer many health benefits especially for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), CHD and cancer and for subjects who are overweight or hyperlipidemic.
The investigators of another study reported that out of four breads being tested (white wheat bread, wholemeal wheat bread, sourdough wholemeal bread and wholemeal bread made with xylanase) the sourdough wholemeal wheat bread was associated to the lowest postprandial glucose and insulin response [16].
It is important to remember that wholemeal sourdough-leavened bread is rich in fiber. High intake of cereal fiber reduces the risk of CHD [39], T2DM [40], obesity [41] and colorectal cancer [42]. Cereal fiber also reduces inflammatory markers [43, 44] and improves insulin sensitivity [45]. Whole grain cereals, but not refined grains, reduce the risk of CHD, gastrointestinal cancer [46] and T2DM [46, 47].
Sourdough can be used in a number of different ways, but the most popular way is to use it for sandwiches. Sourdough can also be a delicious treat topped with some butter or jam or made into toast. Try spicing up your sourdough bread with some avocado and maybe a fried egg, or lathering on some hummus or another favorite spread.
Do the words "sourdough bread" conjure a yearning for crusty, rustic loaves with yeasty, tangy aromas? You are not alone. A recent study showed the market value of sourdough increased from $298.7 million in 2014 to $2.4 billion in 2018.
Traditional sourdough bread recipes contain three simple ingredients. To make it, you need salt, flour, and the magical alchemy of a sourdough starter. There is no need for instant or fresh yeast, milk, oils, eggs, or sweeteners.
In sourdough bread, the starter acts as the rising agent. The yeast uses the carbohydrates from flour to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide becomes trapped in the bread dough, which makes it rise.
Although sourdough bread may not seem that different from regular bread, the fermentation process that the sourdough starter goes through introduces a whole slew of nutritional benefits. Here's why sourdough bread might be a healthier choice than other kinds of bread.
But sourdough, unlike other breads, contains lactic acid. This lactic acid neutralizes levels of phytates because it lowers the pH of the bread. As a result, sourdough bread has a higher level of available minerals and up to 62% less phytic acid than conventional bread.
That's because sourdough bread is more digestible than the average commercial loaf of bread made from standard baker's yeast. In fact, Stewart says that her clients report less bloating with sourdough bread.
However, people who have coeliac disease need to be cautious. Coeliac disease is a condition when a person's immune system attacks their own tissues when they eat gluten. And sourdough still contains gliadin, the part of the wheat protein that affects people with coeliac.
"There are gluten-free sourdough bread options that coeliacs can try," says Stewart. And, bonus, the sourdough fermentation process makes gluten-free bread softer and similar in volume and taste to regular bread.
"The wild microorganisms prefer a more acidic environment than commercial yeast and takes longer to ferment the dough, so the bread develops a more complex, tart flavor. In actuality, sourdough fermentation is the oldest, original method of leavening dough, as commercially raised yeast is a relatively new phenomenon, less than 200 years old," explains Reinhart.
Almost every morning, wheat bread serves as the vehicle to getting peanut butter toast into my belly for breakfast. For lunch or dinner, it is oftentimes the base of my sandwiches, grilled cheese, etc. And when I want dessert that is healthy but also not-so-healthy, a spread of Nutella or cookie butter on a slice of wheat bread comes to the rescue.
Cracked wheat may be a big of an enigma to find at the grocery store, but I found it in the bulk section of my local natural foods market and it was supah cheap. Also, if baking bread kind of freaks you out, take a deep breath, maybe have a glass of wine and then take a gander at these baking tips from Red Star Yeast, which take you through the whole process. You can totally do this!
I love cracked wheat, We often use it salad but I think this much better way of using it ?Bread addict here, any loaf bread is automatic canvas for cheese grills. Crack heat is normally a middle eastern ingredient so I am think goats cheese and fried halomi in a sandwich with this bread. YUM YUM!
Wendy Born and James Barrett say no to vendors offering low-carbflour to Metropolitan Bakery, their Philadelphia business. Theowners of the artisanal bakery decided education would be the besttool to battle against the 15 percent drop in sales theyexperienced during the Atkins craze. Says Born, "We havefliers to explain what our breads are, the differences betweenwhole grain and white flour, and how bread is burned in thebody." Training their staff to discuss the merits of bread hashelped customers who may have shunned bread to see the good inwhole grains. Since then, Born, 53, and Barrett, 42, haveexperienced an enormous boost in sales of multigrain bread, wholewheat bread and cracked wheat sourdough bread--they project 2005sales of $3 million for their four stores. 2ff7e9595c
