Day 101: Dark Grains Bread

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!
