I just took a loaf of my bread out of the oven.... it is multi-grain with spelt, oat, sunflower and flax seeds. I also add soy flour to boost protein content. I've been baking bread for years but this combination of ingredients is new for me. My German neighbour Hans takes great pride in this recipe and he converted me... it really is a wonderful bread. Tastes good and is extremely nutritious. While the oven was on I also roasted a dish of garlic cloves to make a spread.
For years I have been grinding my own flour just before baking using my old Champion Juicer with its grain mill attachment. K2 Milling in Tottenham is my local source for organic grain -- much less expensive to buy a big bag straight from a miller. I bake at least once a week and this bread does use a lot of grain..... it is great not to run short of the main ingredient.
The juicer was purchased used from the previous owner of my house several years before I moved here. It has returned to its former home. It wasn't new to Marika either, so it must be at least twenty-five years old.
