Delicious Multigrain sourdough made with 7 grain hot cereal mix and whole wheat and bread flour along with wheat bran. Wholesome bread goes well with soup or as toast.
This bread is one we decided for this month’s Sourdough Bread Lovers Bake. Yes, we did bake a multigrain sourdough bread. I was planning to make multigrain sourdough bread for some time now using hot cereal mix. Finally, I did, and this one is delicious and hearty loaf.
I was in search of 10 grain hot cereal mix but was not able to find it in my local grocery store, so got 7 grain mix and used it on this bread. Earlier I tried to make loaf with instant yeast and ended up in disaster, so for this one I decided to use my sourdough. I trust my starter to make a good loaf.
This multigrain sourdough bread is adaptation of the recipe in “Tartine Book No. 3: Modern Ancient Classic by Chad Robertson . I used Multigrain cereal mix instead of individual grains and didn’t add any toasted almonds or almond oil. I might try that later, I need to perfect this recipe. You can see more whole grain incorporated sourdough bread in future.
This bread requires some extra step of making multigrain porridge, leaven etc. But taste wise it’s remarkable and has moistness and tenderness that hints at a light nutty flavor. While taking the picture I decide to taste a slice but ended up eating two -three. For days after the bread remained moist inside, and when toasted, became crisp and continued to have that fresh-baked-bread taste.
My hubby loves sourdough bread, and he is the inspiration behind my craze about baking them. Kids sometimes like it but they are not great fans.
For the last two days it is cloudy and not able to see sun so taking pictures is not that easy. But I love to bake my sourdough bread during those cloudy days as they will boost my confidence.
If you like to experiment with sourdough, then give this one a try. And look at Marisa’s bread picture and recipe too for her version.

Dear Swathi. Your bread is marvellous. Mine needs a stronger sourdough and more practice, but the experience of baking worth it. Adding cereals' mixture is totally new and gives the bread flavor and humidity.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a good day.
