Multi-Grain Nut + Seed Bread 坚果杂粮吐司



My mom's favourite breakfast is homemade bread with some nut butter and avocado. She brought a bread machine a few years back and have been making homemade bread since.

She has been using the same recipe that came with the bread machine for years, the kind of recipe that is made for the machine, not too bad and nothing great about it either.

Since my visit in Malaysia this time is longer, I decided to create a multigrain nut + seed bread recipe for mom to use.

I made 4 loaves of the same bread each with little adjustment to the recipe, this one last one is by far the best, with close to 70% of liquid ratio, the bread stays soft and chewy days after baking.

Mom's bread machine broke after 3rd attempts on this recipe, a workload it is not designed to take, I had to use my sister in law's KA for my fourth bread and took the opportunity to get one new machine for mom, as the old one is really subpar, and take as much as a new machine's worth to repair.

我妈平日最喜欢的早饭就是自己烤的面包加上自己磨的杏仁酱和牛油果,吃了好些年都不厌倦。妈妈做的面包就是按面包机程序里教的食谱来做的,不难吃,也说不上美味。

我今年春节回娘家待的时间比较长,就趁机会用家里现有的材料做了几次坚果杂粮面包,为了确定食谱一共做了四次,每次食谱都有微调。最后一个终于让我满意了,接近70%的含水量让烤出来的面包几天后都还是软的。

这款面包味道很好,越嚼越香我很满意,父母也很喜欢。唯一的问题是我妈的杂牌军面包机在我连续四天做了三个面包之后就罢工了。修理费居然和新的面包机价格差不多,我顺道趁这个机会把面包机也给换了。

注:因为一个星期里做了四次这款面包,所以我除了第一个外,下来三个都用了老面法,就是每一次的面团里都会加入之前留下的老面,然后再在新的面团里取一些面团留作下一次的老面,加了老面的面包会膨发得更匀更细致,而且麦香更浓郁,我觉得很值得推荐哦!
