Announcing Bread Baking Day 13: 100% Whole Grains
The American Association of Cereal Chemists (AACC) defines whole grains as such:
Whole grains shall consist of the intact, ground, cracked or flaked caryopsis, whose principal anatomical components - the starchy endosperm, germ and bran - are present in the same relative proportions as they exist in the intact caryopsis.
I don’t know about you, but my eyes glazed over at “flaked caryopsis.” Thankfully, the AACC offers a friendlier definition:
Whole cereal grains and foods made from them consist of the entire grain seed usually referred to as the kernel. The kernel is made of three components - the bran, the germ and the endosperm. If the kernel has been cracked, crushed or flaked, then in order to be called whole grain, it must retain nearly the same relative proportions of bran, germ and endosperm as the original grain.
Whole grain ingredients may be used whole, cooked, milled into flour and used to make breads and other products, or extruded or flaked to make cereal products.
I incorporate whole grains in my diet any way I can, usually in breads. Although it took more than a few bricks and doorstops, I slowly realized that whole grain breads can be as enjoyable as their refined counterparts. So in a self-serving effort to amass the best whole grain recipes, I begged Zorra to allow me to host Bread Baking Day with the theme of 100% Whole Grains.

There’s only one restriction for this month’s Bread Baking Day entries: no refined flours. There’s more to whole grains than wheat and rye, so here’s a list of additional varieties you can use.
To participate in this month’s Bread Baking Day, please send your entry by September 1st.

Does it matter what kind of leavening we use, ie, yeast-based breads or non-yeast-based breads?

This sounds like fun. I bake my own bread every week and always use unusual flour since they are wheat and gluten-free… I love to experiment so I’ll see what I can come up with. Thanks for hosting!

Judy - I sent you an email, but for everyone else, any type of bread with some form of leavening is acceptable. Quick breads, yeasted, or wild yeast breads are welcome.
Thanks everyone. I’ll be looking forward to your entries. Have fun baking!

[...] Many homemade paperweights and bricks later – “don’t worry honey, mmm… it’s not so bad when you toast it, and the birds will always eat what’s left” – I came to the brilliant realization that you can’t just completely substitute whole wheat for all-purpose. You have to treat the big WW with lots of respect and give it some yeasty love, and then it will reward you with an awesome loaf in return. In celebration of the wonders of whole wheat and whole grains in general, Jude of Apple Pie, Patis & Pâté is hosting BreadBakingDay#13 – 100% Whole Grains. [...]
