Sunflower Seed Bread
This healthy delicious bread is easy to make and is the perfect addition to any meal!
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
- 2 cups bread flour
- 1 tbsp. yeast
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 2 ⅛ cups water lukewarm
- 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1 ¼ cups sunflower seeds see notes for alternative
- 2 tsp. fine Kosher salt
- Butter or oil to grease the baking pan
Instructions
- Add whole wheat flour and bread flour to a large bowl or stand mixer bowl and form a well in the middle.
- Add the yeast, about half a cup of the lukewarm water, and the honey to the well.
- Mix the ingredients in the well while incorporating some flour from the rim of the well.
- Cover the bowl and set aside for about 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, grease the baking pan and add about ⅛ cup of the seeds to the pan. Swirl the pan to distribute the seeds on the sides and the bottom of the pan.
- Cover the well with some flour and add the apple cider vinegar, seeds, salt, and the remaining water.
- Knead the dough until everything is well combined. The dough will be relatively soft and will not come together smooth like a regular yeast dough.
- Cover the dough and allow to sit for 60 minutes (you can let it sit for up to three hours). The dough will not rise like a normal dough but will develop flavor during this time.
- Add dough to the prepared baking pan and place into the 375 F preheated oven.
- Bake for about 45 minutes.
