Perfect 100% Whole Wheat & Whole Rye Bread w/ Soaker

Finally, there is a 100% whole wheat bread recipe on this channel. The heathiest loaf to come out my oven by far. It is super easy to make too!
The dough is made with wheat flour and rye flour for a more complex flavour and texture. A soaker of whole grains and seeds provides extra nutritional value and helps the bread retain more water keeping the crumb moister for longer. If you have never used a soaker before, then this will be a perfect introduction. To learn more about soakers check out the Principles of Baking playlist on my channel.

I used barley, buckwheat, oats, black sesame seeds, and millet in my soaker and covered the loaf in sunflower seeds. The beauty of this recipe is that you can customize it however you like with your favourite grains and seeds. The soaker can be prepared as little as 3 hours ahead of making the dough. I left mine to soak for 24 hours.

The dough is cold bulk fermented which means that the initial fermentation is done in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. It gives the bread a more distinct flavour and texture. A long fermentation also helps with breaking down the gluten in the dough making it more easily digestible. A slow fermentation also gives us great flexibility on when to bake the bread as it can be fermented for as little as 12 hours and up to 24 hours.
