Seedy High Fibre Bread

Seedy High-Fibre Bread

A delicious soft seedy loaf, packed with fibre and healthy fats that add lots of extra nutrition!

Makes: 1 Loaf ( approx 12 slices)
Prep Time: 20 minutes, plus rising time
Cooking Time: 25-30 minutes 

Ingredients:

• 7g sachet (1½ tsp) fast-action dried yeast

• 310ml lukewarm water

• 1 tsp sugar

• 1 tsp salt

• 450g high-grade or strong white flour

• 1¼ cups of seeds in total, the mix I enjoy is:

  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds

  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds

  • ¼ cup sesame seeds

  • ¼ cup poppy seeds

  • ¼ cup flaxseeds

• Optional: ¼ cup chopped walnuts

How to make using a kitchen machine and dough hook:
I use my Kenwood Chef for this.

1. Place all the ingredients in the bowl

2. Set the dough hook to the minimum speed to combine and form a soft dough

3. Set a timer for 1 minute and knead on medium speed, then set a timer for 8 minutes and knead on speed 1 until smooth and elastic.

4. Remove the bowl, cover with lightly oiled clear film and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

5. Using the dough hook on minimum speed for 30-60 seconds, gently knead the dough to knock back. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and shape.

6. Place into an oiled loaf tin and cover with oiled clear film and leave to rise for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.

7. Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/gas 7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
