Ingredients:
600gr Nutty Wheat 10gr instant yeast 5ml salt 30ml sesame seeds 15 ml poppy seeds 60ml sunflower seeds 500ml lukewarm water 30ml sunflower oil 30ml honey seeds to sprinkle over the top before baking _____________________________________________________________________________________ |
Method:
Sift flour and salt together. Add remaining husks back into the flour. Add the instant yeast and seeds to the flour and mix. Mix water, oil and honey. Add to the dry ingredients and mix well. Depending on the flour you might have to add a little more water (50 ml) to make a sticky wet mixture. Spoon mixture into one large or two smaller greased bread pans. Cover with clingfilm and leave to prove for 45 -60 minutes until well risen. Wet the top slightly with water using a brush or sponge - This will make the seeds stick to the dough and give a crisp crust. Sprinkle seeds over the bread to decorate and press lightly into the dough. Bake in pre-heated oven at 200°C for 40-45 minutes. |
