Flaxseed Multi-Grain Bread























Whenever multi-grain bread is mentioned, a loaf of hard, heavy, solid bread jumps into mind.  This is a bread I’ve created to change that stereo type of image of multi-grain bread.  The inside texture is so soft and smooth, that it will keep people coming back for more. 
A Ingredients
Bread flour                               200 g
Flaxseed multi-grain mix*         50 g (recipe follows)
Water                                         80 g
Egg                                              1 piece
Salt                                              ½ teaspoon
Sugar                                          30 g
Dry yeast                                      1 teaspoon

B Ingredients
Butter, softened   10 g
Cream cheese       10 g
Pepitas                  10 g

C Ingredients
Egg white             1 piece
Water                    2 teaspoon

1. Put A Ingredients in a bread machine, wet first, then dry ingredients, yeast goes on top, press the dough cycle. When the dough is formed, add the butter and cream cheese, using a butter knife, gently rub the butter and cream cheese onto the dough.  Add the pepitas at the last 5 minutes of mixing, and when the bread dough cycle is completed, take out the dough and form a ball.  Cover and let rest for 20 minutes. 
2. Weight and roll and dough up and place in appropriate bread molds, let rise again for about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, beat C ingredients in a small bowl. 
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, brush the C Ingredients onto the top of the dough, then bake for 14-16 minutes.  Cool before slicing.
