Granola Wheat Bread Recipes

GRANOLA BREAD

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer using whisk attachment, mix yeast with the water until yeast is dissolved. Replace whisk attachment with paddle attachment and add in honey, oil and cinnamon.
• Replace paddle attachment with dough hook. Add flours, granola and raisins and mix until flour is fully incorporated and dough begins to pull from the sides. No kneading is necessary. Pour dough in a lightly-greased large bowl, cover and let rise about 2 hours or until doubled in size.
• Cover bowl with risen dough lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Take refrigerated dough and shape into an oval using your hands. Place oval-shaped dough in a lightly-greased 8 x 5-inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise about 2 hours or until doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Once dough has risen, bake on middle rack about 30-40 minutes or until golden brown on top. Allow to cool completely on wire rack before slicing.

BUTTERMILK GRANOLA BREAD

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix 1 cup of the flour, the salt and yeast. In 1-quart saucepan, heat water, buttermilk, honey and butter over medium heat, stirring frequently, until very warm (120°F to 130°F); stir into flour mixture until blended. Stir in granola. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.
• Place dough on lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead about 8 minutes or until smooth and springy. Grease large bowl with shortening or cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover; let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until dough has doubled in size. (If using fast-acting yeast, do not let rise 1 hour; cover and let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.)
• Grease large cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray. Shape dough into round loaf, about 5 inches in diameter and 3 inches high. Place on cookie sheet. Cover; let rise in warm place 45 to 60 minutes or until about 7 1/2 inches in diameter.
• Heat oven to 400°F. Make 2 long cuts in top of dough to resemble one large "+" sign with sharp knife. Brush or spray top of dough with water. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool.
