This new section is all about blended grains, which just means you take all the flours you used making the breads in the previous sections and throw them all together. I think this section was actually created just for people that tried a bunch of breads and had all that leftover flour with nothing to do with it. This first bread uses buckwheat flour, wheat germ, rye flour, whole-wheat flour, and white flour. The recipe was all pretty straight forward: just mix all the flours and work into the liquid. It eventually came together as a pretty dense and sticky dough, but after rising it just came out perfect. It's got the density of a rye or whole-wheat bread, but a lot of the flavor and texture comes from both the buckwheat flour and the wheat germ. I think this was a great way to start out the blended grain section, and I can't wait for all of the future breads to come!
