About Multigrain Bread

Multigrain Bread is a simple homemade bread made using different grains and flours along with sugar and yeast. It is baked until soft and golden in colour. The combination of wheat flour, ragi flour, oats and corn gives good texture and flavour to bread. It is commonly used for toast, sandwiches.

This bread has soft texture inside with slightly crisp crust outside. The grains give a mild nutty flavour and makes the bread more filling to eat. It tastes good when toasted and served warm with butter or jam. The loaf slices well after cooling down completely. The smell while baking is really good and fills the whole kitchen.

You can try  variations with this bread recipe, you can add seeds on top before baking or use other grain flours based on your preference. Also you can also adjust the flour combination depending on what you have at home. It is easy to change and experiment with this recipe.

I usually make this bread when I want homemade bread for few days at home. It works well for toasts in the morning and sandwiches later in day. 

Multigrain Bread Ingredients

• Wheat Flour – Used wheat flour for this bread structure and soft texture to loaf and helps hold the shape well.
• Ragi Flour – Used ragi flour for flavor and healthy option, you can replace it with any another millet flour if needed.
• Maida – I added little maida to make the bread more soft and light. It also helps the loaf to rise well and gives better texture.
• Broken Corn – Used broken corn for texture and grain flavor. It gives little bite to the bread and adds a nice grain feel.
• Instant Oats – I have used oats for texture and to add more grains into the bread. It blends well with the other flours and gives good body.
• Oil – Used oil to keep the bread soft and moist after baking, and also you can use any cooking oil you use at home.
• Egg – I have used egg for brushing the top before baking. It gives good golden color and you can use milk instead too.
• Yeast – Used yeast to help the dough rise properly and for soft texture and makes the bread fluffy.
• Sugar – Sugar is added to activate the yeast mixture and also adds little sweetness and helps the yeast work better.
