From 101 cookbooks for this easy and tasty and healthy Hide ( named after a friend of the bakery ) bread which is similar to an English muffin in that if you don't toast it, it'll taste raw. The key to enjoying these delicious little breads (and I can’t emphasize this enough), is splitting them open, toasting them until they are deeply golden, then slathering them generously with butter (or drizzling with olive oil).

5 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra flour for dusting |
1/2 cup flax seeds |
1/2 cup sesame seeds |
2 cups oat bran |
1/4 cup sunflower seeds |
1/2 cup amaranth, quinoa, millet, or poppy seeds (or any combo of these) |
2 tablespoons dulse flakes, or 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons beer |
2 1/2 cups buttermilk, half-and-half, milk, or water |
unsalted butter, softened for serving |
Directions:
1. Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 375F degrees.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if desired.
3. Place all the dry ingredients in an (extra-large) bowl, stir them together, and make a well in the center.
4. Add the beer and the buttermilk.
5. Mix with the handle of a wooden spoon until a thick, wet batter forms.
6. Sprinkle a layer of flour over the top.
7. Turn the batter onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a loose log about 2 inches in diameter.
8. Cut it into 1 1/2-inch-thick slices and par them down with your hands to form patties.
9. Place the patties on the baking sheet and bake them for 45 minutes, until golden brown.
10. Let them cook completely.
11. To serve, slice each patty in half, toast it well, and smear with butter (: a sprinkling of salt works wonder here as well).
12. And seriously, make sure to TOAST IT !
