Okay, so this sourdough loaf doesn’t really have all the grains. But it has a bunch that are super tasty and good for you. If you want a fun twist on a typical rye loaf, this is the loaf for you.
The best part about this loaf is that if you don’t have some of the flours, just replace them with what you have. Actually, that may not be the best part. The best part might be that this is a lazy day loaf. Lazy day loaves are doughs that you don’t have to fold, don’t have to fret much about, can just let chill without much worry, etc. Lazy day loaves are simply the best.
All The Grains Sourdough: Little details
If it’s really hot in your kitchen, the original rising time will take the minimal amount of time, which is 6 hours. If it’s cooler, then the time may be 8 hours. Sourdough has a mind of its own. We love it for that, so bear with it. Be patient with it. Be loving to it. It will give you love in return.
If you want this to be the happiest bake ever, support local mills and farmers by using high quality local stone-ground flours. They will then be ground from whole grains and make your loaf super divine and healthier.
Store-bought bread flour may be okay for now, but a high-quality flour that isn’t roller-milled and sifted into oblivion will change your bread life, your religion, your soul. Heavily manufactured flours in roller mills lose the bran and the germ (the most nutritious parts of the grain). Stone ground flours maintain nutrition and terroir. Be on the lookout for local stone ground flours in the natural foods store near you.

Gorgous and tasty. Perfect excuse to try out different types of grains and I love the idea of having an arsenal of lazy day bakes!!
Thank you so much!
I loove that you've thought of recipes for even the lazy day bakes! Thanks so much, it's such a great way to try out new grains, without being too high maintenance!
Thank you, Jamie!
Hi! If I don’t need the top crust any browner, should I just keep the lid on and bake for a full hour?
I’ve made your honey oat sourdough, and found I wished the top crust was the same as the other 3 sides.
Thanks!
Yep, this is totally an option for both recipes! Enjoy!
