Description
This No-Knead Harvest Grains Super-Seed Bread is a rustic, nutritious loaf loaded with whole grains and crunchy seeds. It requires no kneading and delivers deep flavor, chewy texture, and a golden crust — perfect for everyday meals.
Ingredients
3 1/4 cups bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup King Arthur Harvest Grains Blend
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon instant or rapid rise yeast
1 3/4 cups cool water
Seeded Topping:
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon flax seeds
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix bread flour, whole wheat flour, grains blend, salt, and yeast.
2. Pour in cool water and mix until the flour is fully incorporated and a sticky dough forms.
3. Continue gently kneading for 2 to 3 minutes until the dough is slightly smoother.
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest overnight or for at least 8 hours at room temperature.
5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently shape into a round loaf.
6. Place on parchment paper and let rise while the oven preheats for 30 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 425°F with a lidded Dutch oven inside.
8. Once preheated, carefully place the dough (with parchment) into the hot Dutch oven.
9. Score the top with two slashes and sprinkle the seed mix over the top.
10. Bake with the lid on for 40 to 45 minutes.
11. Remove the lid and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until deeply golden.
12. Remove from oven, transfer to a rack, and cool completely before slicing.
Notes
You can substitute King Arthur Harvest Grains Blend with your own mix of oats, millet, rye, and barley.
Let the bread cool fully before slicing to avoid a gummy texture.
This bread freezes well — slice before freezing for easy toasting later.
