Bread gets a tough wrap these days… but this bread is full of nutrients! So… not only is this one GOOD FOR YOU, but it is easy to make AND IT’S DELICIOUS.
I like to make 2 small loaves (my tins are approx 11cm x 22cm) or you can use one large (Note: rising and cooking time will likely be a bit longer).
- Turn on your oven to 50 degrees Celsius (yes, 50 ;))
Put the following ingredients into a large mixing bowl:
INGREDIENTS
- 3 cups spelt flour (or you can use standard flour)
- 2 tsp dry yeast
- 3 Tbsp chia seeds
- 3 Tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 3 Tbsp sesame seeds (and an extra handful to sprinkle on top)
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds (and an extra handful to sprinkle on top)
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 Tbsn honey
- 3 Tbsn macadamia oil (or olive oil is fine too)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups water (lukewarm)
METHOD
- Stir until all the ingredients are mixed (and no more… maximum 2 minutes). You will find this dough is very ‘sticky’… that’s fine… don’t be tempted to add more flour.
- Scrape the dough into your two greased tins. Sprinkle some seeds on top and gently press them into the dough.
- Pop into your warm oven and let ‘rest’ for 20-25 minutes to allow the dough to rise.
- Once risen, leave your bread in the oven and turn up the heat to 200 degrees Celsius.
- Cook for 40-45 mins – test with a skewer (if it comes out clean your bread is ready!).
- Leave to sit for five minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
- Get out the butter and prepare for your feast! :)) Your super seed bread should slice perfectly with a good bread knife.
TIP: Make rolls instead, by putting heaped desert-spoons of dough onto a floured tray.
You just cannot beat the smell of freshly baked bread (hmmm, okay… fresh coffee maybe a contender ;)).
Yum, made this bread today and it was delicious! I wasnt left much though because the kids scoffed it down in 5 minutes flat!!! Overall a winner 😉 !!
