POLENTA-SUNFLOWER-MILLET BREAD
This is one of my cache of “crunchy munchy” breads with whole millet, which looks so
pretty dotting every slice. The family of common millets is just huge, and the only be-
tween difference the millet we eat and the kind the birds eat is that the bird seed is un-
hulled. Once you feel the great textural additions of millet and the coarse grind of
cornmeal known as polenta, you’ll be adding these grains often. If you find the little
nubs too crunchy, just soak the millet in hot water for fifteen minutes and drain it be-
fore adding to the bread dough.
