Bread again!

I has been almost two years I have not been making my own bread and I decided that it was high time to get back to it. To make things easier for me, I bought a 2 lb silicone baking form when I invested in madeleine pans. Silicone forms are just brilliant!


Makes 1 loaf

300g wholemeal bread flour
200g white bread flour
2-3 TBSP olive oil
1 tsp salt
2 TBSP mixed seeds (sunflower, millet, pumpkin, hemp (crushed), sesame, poppy)
5g dried yeast
250ml warm water

1. Mix all the dried ingredients except the yeast in a large bowl. Make a well. Add the oil. Sprinkle with the yeast.

2. Pour over the water, mixing a the same time with a wooden spoon. When it is too hard to mix with the spoon, use your hand and knead well until the dough is soft and not sticky.

3. Place in a loaf tin/form and leave to rise until it doubles in size.

4. Bake in a preaheated oven (200C) for 25 minutes.

5. If you want a thick crust, leave to cool down uncovered. For a thin crust, remove from the form and roll in a clean kitchen towel. Leave to cool down on a cooling rack.
