Also, do you cook the grains first (bulgur, for example)? Thanks! <blockquote>I add the additional items on top of the flour.

Thanks!

I add the additional items on top of the flour. And I don’t cook the grains first.

Triticale is a cross between rye and wheat that has higher protein than either of them. The grain adds a nice sour edge that is not as intense as the sourness of rye.

Right before it goes in the oven? I'm thinking of adding pine nuts and/or goat cheese. Do you think cheese is a bad idea? <blockquote>Hi Flood, I've been adding the extras in the very beginning. With things like nuts and grains, the extra time in a wet dough will help them soften. I've added cheese at that point also. However, you can also add cheese after the first rise, or whenever you want. More on cheese- I've only used hard cheeses. Maybe if adding a soft cheese- wait till later in the process? Another idea could be to shape this dough more like a focaccia -in a flat rectangular shape that is dimpled on top to accommodate toppings, and add your goodies to it on top. Hope all that didn't confuse your question! --McAuliflower</blockquote> So when are you adding your extras? Right before it goes in the oven? I’m thinking of adding pine nuts and/or goat cheese.

The more nuts and seeds the better, I sez. We have dabbled with bread – usually in the winter, and it ain’t good, unless driving nails with a load of bread is a goal.

I suck. But in terms of grains that I love in my bread, I do enjoy sunflower seeds, as well as dried cranberries (no raisins though)! <blockquote>I love the thought of cranberries in this bread!
