Multigrain Bread with Pate Fermentee (B&P30)

What could be better than a hearty and delicious teff multigrain roll? My kids would say a 15 inch gluten free pepperoni pizza. Well...they've got me there.  However, these are mighty tasty rolls with a lovely crisp crust.

You will need to do a little preplanning to fix this recipe. You will need 9 different grains along with flaxs eed and unsalted sunflower seeds to make the multigrain soaker.  I used chia seeds (salba), sesame seeds, whole plantago seeds (psyllium or Indian wheat), hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, quinoa, millet, teff, amaranth and teff.  If you want you can substitute black sesame seeds for the plantago seeds. Then you will need flax seeds (gold or brown) and unsalted sunflower seeds, in addition to the 9 seeds and grains.

Enjoy!

Protein Content:
Original Content: 15.82 g
GF Content: 15.8 g

9 Grain Soaker (28 g)

3 g chia seeds (salba)
3 g whole plantago seeds (psyllium or Indian wheat)
3 g hemp seeds (shelled)
3 g sesame seeds
3 g pumpkin seeds
3 g kasha
3 g amaranth grain
3 g millet grain
3 g quinoa grain
3 g teff grain (brown or ivory)
4 g flax seeds (brown or golden)
6 g unsalted sunflower seeds
39 ml water, cold

Combine all the seeds, grains and water in a plastic container and cover with a lid. Soak at room temperature until the mixture has absorbed the water, approximately 8 to 12 hours.

Note: According to On Food And Cooking: The Science And Lore Of The Kitchen (2004) by Harold McGee, do not use sorghum in sprouting, because as the seed germinates, it produces a protective cyanide-generating system. It's found in the seed coating. (pg. 482)  I would recommend avoiding using sorghum in the soaker.
