"I was inspired by the Harvest Grain Blend that King Arthur Flour sells, but being in Canada, the cost of shipping is prohibitive enough to make me come up with my own version. Add 1/2 to 2/3 cup to your favourite bread for extra crunch, flavour, and nutrition! I suggest replacing 2 tbsp of each cup of flour with the mixture as a starting point. I've also added some barley flakes and 7 grain cereal to my mix. Store in a tightly sealed container. Another way to use the mix is to make a "soaker", which you do by pouring 1 cup of hot water over 2/3 cup of the mix, and allowing it to soak overnight. Then add this to your bread mix, ensuring to subtract out the 1 cup of water and 2/3 cup of flour from the recipe you're working with."

Thank you so much! I was doing work research on the recent popularity of "Ancient Grains." I found this recipe and used it for my first wheat-alternative experiment. I love how versatile it is. Using your recipe I put together a large batch from the grain bins at my local hippie grocery store, replacing the couple of ingredients that weren't available with ones that were. I got about 6 lbs of the mixture for under $13. I subbed out 1/4 cup of the mixture in a simple bread machine egg bread recipe, and it has added wonderful texture and depth of flavor. Thanks again.

OK, so I am sitting here eating this mix and feeling like a bird. I am gonna get HUGE brownie points from the hubby on this one. He is always begging me to make bread with "whole wheat, high fiber bread with lots of seeds and nuts" and I am pretty sure this recipe will deliver just that!!!! I have stashed it away and will make it with some bread next week using your soak method. I did sub flax meal for the rye flakes and then subbed oatmeal for the flax seed. THANKS! Made as a recipenap for March 2010 Veggie Swap. UPDATE: I continue to use this in most of the breads I make as we love multi-grain breads. Most recently I used it in Recipe #412480, subbing out the nuts for this grain blend. YUMMO! We love it and I highly recommend it.

Delicious and nutritious! I did the overnight soak method and used it in my recipe #380260, so now my innocent wheat bread is on the equivalent of steroids! lol! Thanks, Katzen! Made for Veggie Recipe Swap.

I had to whittle this down to a cup. I ended up subbing amaranth, millet and Khorasan wheat, cuz that's what I had on hand, but I reckon any combo of grains would work.

Tried to find King Athur's harvest blend but it's not available. So I used a modified version of this mix. Couldn't find rye flakes so I substituted rye seeds. Also did not include barley and multigrain cereal flakes. Bread turned out great.

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
