Multigrain

We were given a bunch of different things to add to bread dough as a Christmas gift from our niece Paula. My latest batch of sourdough bread had rye flour, rolled barley flakes, and a few tablespoons of ground flax seeds added to the usual six cups of whole wheat flour. I shaped the dough into four small boules. They came out great. I have also used additions of chic pea flour, soy flour, corn flour, rice flour, rye flour, barley flour, buckwheat flour, spelt flour...you name it! Experiment and have fun! You can also get these as whole grains and grind them in a hand cranked grain mill.
