-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup whole grain wheat berries
2 1/2 cups bread flour -- divided
1 cup warm water -- or whey drained from yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter -- softened
2 teaspoons bread machine yeast -- or instant yeast
A nubby, crunchy loaf with cracked wheat berries you can easily make
in your bread machine
Boil wheat berries in 1 cup of water for 20 minutes. Allow to cool
(quicker if you add ice cubes) and drain. Alternatively, soak wheat
berries in water for 12 hours or overnight. (Softened and drained
wheat berries will keep in the fridge up to a week.)
Add prepared wheat berries to a blender or food processor along with
1 cup of bread flour. Process until wheat berries are finely chopped.
You will likely need to stop several times to push the flour and
wheat berries from the sides of the chopping container back to the middle.
Combine water, salt, sugar, nonfat dry milk solids, butter, and
remaining flour to bread machine pan along with ground wheat berries
and flour mixture, and the yeast.
Select the dough cycle and start. Check dough after 10 minutes to
make sure dough sticks to the side of the pan and then pulls away
cleanly. If too wet, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time. If too
dry, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time.
When dough cycle completes, check to make sure dough has doubled in
size. If not, leave in pan until it does.
When doubled, remove dough from pan to floured surface and divide
into two equal portions. Shape each portion into an oblong shape by
pulling dough from the top to the bottom until dough is smooth; then
pinch closed. Place seam side down on a cookie sheet covered with
parchment paper or a silicone mat that has been sprinkled with a bit
of cornmeal.
Cover with a tea towel and allow to rise until almost doubled.
Preheat oven to 425F about 20 minutes before you expect the loaf to
be ready to bake.
Brush risen loaves with glaze of 1 egg white whipped together with 1
tablespoon water. (This is optional.)
Make 2-3 diagonal slashes in each loaf with very sharp serrated knife
or razor blade, being careful not to deflate dough.
Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until interior
temperature reaches 190F, or until bottom is brown and sounds hollow.
Allow loaves to cool on rack for an hour before slicing.
