Graham Granola Bread
Description
This Graham Granola Bread is a robust and comforting loaf that brings a wonderful nutty flavor to your breakfast table. Combining the earthy tones of graham flour with the crunch of finely ground granola and rolled oats, this bread offers a satisfying texture that pairs perfectly with butter, jam, or honey. The addition of buttermilk and butter ensures a tender crumb, while chopped walnuts provide extra richness. It is an ideal choice for weekend brunches or as a hearty accompaniment to soups and stews.Directions
-
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
-
In a food processor or blender, finely grind the granola until it resembles coarse meal. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the foamy yeast mixture, remaining water, buttermilk, softened butter, honey (or brown sugar), and egg. Whisk until smooth.
-
Stir in the graham flour, ground granola, rolled oats, chopped walnuts, and salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
-
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until the dough is too stiff to stir. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
-
Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes, adding more flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic. The dough should be slightly tacky but not sticky.
-
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.
-
Punch down the dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a loaf and place in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
-
Cover and let rise again for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the dough rises about 1 inch above the rim of the pan.
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Bake the bread for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
-
Remove from the pan immediately and cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
