While it is not an exhaustive list, I have turned out quite a few tasty loaves using these tips. If you’re new to bread-making, be sure to check out my basic bread making techniques. If you are new to soaking grains, this is a great recipe to start with, especially with the added help of a breadmaker. Not only that but it also maximizes the nutrients that are available in the grain so that your soaked whole wheat bread ultimately packs a healthier, more nutritious punch. You might wonder: mushy bread? Soaked? That sounds too weird – why soak bread?įor the long and technical story on soaking grains, you’ll need to read this.įor now, the short of it is that soaking the flour takes the undigestible part of the grain and makes your body recognize it more like a vegetable. I had an awful time finding a soaked whole wheat bread recipe online, so I made my own by adapting the standard whole wheat recipe in the bread machine book! (I highly recommend baking in the oven after the breadmaker does the kneading work, but the recipe is still written for 100% bread machine if that makes life easier for you!) Why Soak Whole Wheat? I’m not going to lie here – this is still breadmaker bread, soaked whole wheat breadmaker bread…but it’s yummy toasted with raw honey (use the code Katie15 for 15% off at that site!). This recipe will definitely not take you to France but it will make your house smell like the local bread shop and prompt the littles to run for the kitchen. The smell alone makes you feel like you’re in a bread shop or a fancy French Cafe. There are few smells that can send the kiddos scrambling to the kitchen like the smell of soaked whole wheat bread.
