A few shortcuts turn this quick bread into a positive speed demon

Multigrain Soda Bread

1 hour 20 minutes 10 minutes active plus cooling

Soaking the cereal in yogurt before mixing it into the dough softened the grains, saving us the need to cook them. If you can’t find 10-grain cereal mix (Bob’s Red Mill makes one), use a five- or seven-grain hot cereal or porridge mix instead. We liked stone-ground whole-wheat flour and graham flour, but regular whole-wheat flour was easier to find. The bread baked more evenly in two small loaves than it did as one larger loaf.

Tip

Don’t use Greek-style yogurt for this recipe; it won’t mix with and hydrate the grains. We liked whole-milk yogurt but low-fat will work, too.

Ingredients

2

cups plain whole-milk yogurt
161

grams (1 cup) 10-grain hot cereal mix

Directions

01

Heat the oven to 350ºF with a rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with kitchen parchment. In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt and cereal; let sit for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together both flours, the sugar, salt, baking powder and soda, and pumpkin seeds, if using.

Delicious snack

I have made this fast and easy recipe twice. The bread has delicious flavor and makes a lovely snack. I even messed up on measuring because the grams listed are not correct. My mistakes didn't matter; the bread was still yummy.

"We liked stone-ground whole-wheat flour and graham flour" Just sub one or both for the whole wheat? Seems like the consistency would be off....

Hi Jocelyn -

Stone-ground whole-wheat flour and graham flour are basically the same thing (often exactly the same thing just labeled differently) and can be used interchangeably with each other and more finely-ground whole wheat flour. The consistency of the bread will definitely be different with coarsely-ground wheat, but we actually preferred the grainier texture.

Best,

Delicious. Just the right amount of sweetness. I used stone ground wheat flour and Bob Mill’s 5 grain cereal. This bread doesn’t need any condiments - perfect eaten by itself and loaded with fiber.
