multigrain bread, kitty approved

easy peasy bread

preheat oven to 425°F, have a pan on the bottom shelf that you can add water to to create the steam that makes a nice crispy crust. Grease a cookie tray or line it with parchment.

2 cups flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup rye flour
1 1/2 cups warm water (100°F )
3 1/2 tsp yeast
1/2 TB salt

mix yeast and water and 1/2 cup flour, let sit 15 mins till foamy.
mix yeast mixture with the rest of the flour and salt, mix till it forms a smooth ball, not real sticky, kneed until you can window pane it, about 10 mins, add more water if too dense, or more flour if too sticky.

let rise in oiled bowl till double in size, pound down and let rest 15 mins. form into balls and let rise again, till double, form into shapes you want to bake, I chose smallish batard shape. Let rise again. Bake at 425°F, have a pan on the bottom shelf heating up with the oven then 2 mins before putting the bread in the oven pour 1 cup water into the pan to create steam, quickly put the bread in to avoid loosing steam, bake for 20 mins check for doneness. I pulled mine after 20 mins, but sometimes it takes a bit longer.
bread so good even the cat couldn't resist it
