MicroGrain Loaf

Ingredients

• 500g all purpose flour
• Half pound sunflower shoots
• Half pound pea shoots
• 720g filtered water 94 degrees F
• 12 g sea salt
• 7g activated yeast

Procedure

Step 1: Dehydrating

Take half a pound of sunflower shoots and half pound of Pea shoots and dehydrate. Use a dehydrator if you have one or put in baking sheets in the oven at 170 for 2-3 hours. You can do this the day before. 

Step 2: Autolyse 

Weigh 500g all purpose flour and add to the mixer bowl. Weigh 720g filtered water at 94 degrees fahrenheit  into the mixing bowl and incorporate by hand until mixed. Let sit for 30 minutes so the flour and water can mix evenly.

Step 3: Mixing 

Weigh 7 grams of activated yeast and add it to the mixing bowl. Weigh 12 grams sea salt and add to the mixture. Add dehydrated microgreens to the mixing bowl. Mix on low speed for 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Mix on Med-High speed for 3-5 minutes until fully incorporated. Add 2 Tbsp of filtered water if needed. Once mixed, cover mixing bowl with seran wrap. Let sit for half an hour at room temperature. 

Step 4: Folding

Remove seran wrap and mix on Medium for 2 minutes. Cover in seran wrap again. Let sit until the dough has at least doubled in size.

Step 5: Proofing

Flour the edges of the bowl around the dough and use your hand as a cup to remove the dough from the mixing bowl onto a flat surface. Take each side of the dough and fold it towards the centre of the doughball then flip it so the smooth side faces up. Use your hands to gently pull the dough towards you a few times until the dough forms a nice sphere. Put a bit of flour into a proofing container and place the dough in with the smooth side up. 

Step 6: Baking

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit and place a dutch oven with lid on for 45 minutes. Use oven mitts and remove the dutch oven and place it on a heat proof surface. Place a piece of parchment paper on the inner bottom of the dutch oven.  Carefully place the dough ball into the dutch oven with the seem side facing up and put the lid back on the dutch oven. Place dutch oven back into the oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes remove the lid of the dutch oven and bake for another 15 minutes. Once the bread has a nice golden colour to it remove the dutch oven from the baking oven and carefully remove the loaf from the dutch oven (don't burn yourself!!) and place the loaf on a cooling rack. Let cool for at least 30 minutes. Tap the bottom of the loaf if it sounds hollow your bread is cooked. 

Step 7: Eating

Enjoy your nutrient filled bread by making sandwiches or eat it just the way it is!! Bon appetit!!
