WHOLE WHEAT SUNFLOWER SEED BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• To begin making the Whole Wheat Sunflower Seed Bread Recipe, we will first make sure we have all the ingredients ready. Do make sure you have yeast that has been bought fresh. I most often use the sourdough culture I make at home or the active instant dry yeast.
• Combine all the wet ingredients in a small mixing bowl and keep aside. Keep as few sunflower seeds aside for sprinkling on the top of the loaf. Toss this extra sunflower seeds in a little honey and keep aside.
• Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl of the bowl of the stand mixer. A stand mixer helps to a great extent when you make breads at home. The process of kneading gets super simplified especially when you bake breads.
• Gradually add the wet ingredient mixture to the flour mixture and keep kneading it you get a smooth and soft dough. If you feel the dough has become too soft, add in some flour and knead again. And if you feel that the dough is dry, add a little water and knead.
• Once all the ingredients have come together. Knead well for about 5 minutes using all your muscle powder. After which, place it in a bow, cover the bowl and allow it to rise and double. This would take about 3 hours.
• After the sunflower bread dough has doubled in size, remove it from the bowl and knead again.
• Transferred dough to a greased bread pan, covered and let rise again for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, sprinkle the remaining sunflower seeds on the top of the loaf and lightly press it in.
• Preheat the oven at 180 C and place the risen loaf in the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
• Testing breads is not like a cake, where you insert a tester and it will come out clean. You will have to remove the loaf from the pan and tap the bottom of the loaf. If it does not sound hollow or is not golden enough, then we put it back in the oven to bake.
• The main test is the "Tap - Hollow Sound Test" for testing whether the bread is baked.
• Once the bread has passed the deep golden colour test and the "Tap - Hollow Sound Test", then remove from the oven and allow it to cool.
• Serve Whole Wheat Sunflower Seed Bread along with Tzatziki Dip or with your evening masala chai.

WHOLE WHEAT SANDWICH LOAF WITH FLAX, SESAME AND SUNFLOWER SEEDS

Steps:

• Soak sesame, sunflower and flax seeds covered with water overnight. Combine seeds and water with flour, malt, 1 1/8 cups water and honey. Let rest for 10 minutes. Add sourdough levain and yeast. Handknead for about 14 to 18 minutes (machine knead for 12 to 14 minutes). Add salt within the last 4 minutes. Let proof in greased bowl, covered with a damp towel, at 78 degrees, for about 2 1/2 hours or until doubled in volume. Divide dough into 3 greased loaf pans. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for about 50 minutes.

THREE-SEED CROWN LOAF

Steps:

• Measure the water and honey in a bowl and sprinkle the yeast on the top. Let the yeast sit for a couple of minutes to activate it. Add 2 cups of the flour, salt, gluten, dough enhancer, and 4 tablespoons of the sunflower oil to the yeast mixture and mix well. Slowly add the rest of the flour (approximately 6 cups) to the mixture until a soft, moist dough is formed and the dough no longer clings to the outside of the bowl. You may need a little more or less flour. Knead the dough until gluten is formed (it is critical that the gluten be formed or you will get a heavy bread). The dough should be smooth and spring back when pressed, about 8 to 10 minutes. You can also check to see if gluten is formed by doing the "window test". The window test is when the dough can be stretched and it doesn't break, but will stretch and create a translucent membrane or window.
• Rub 1 teaspoon of sunflower oil around a large bowl. Turn the dough in the oil, then cover the bowl and let dough stand until double, about 1 hour.
• While dough is rising, lightly grease a 12-inch deep Dutch Oven. When dough has doubled, turn out dough and shape it into a round even ball. Cut the ball into 8 equal wedges. Combine 2 of the wedges into a ball and place in the middle of the Dutch oven for the larger middle ball of the crown. Form the remaining 6 wedges into individual balls. Lightly beat the egg in a small bowl to make the egg glaze. Brush each of the balls in egg glaze and then dip 2 balls in poppy seeds, 2 balls in sesame seeds, and 2 balls in sunflower seeds. Place each set of balls on the opposite side of the middle ball so that you have the different balls alternating around the outside of the middle ball or Dutch oven (eg. Going around the circle, it may go poppy, sesame, sunflower, poppy, sesame, and sunflower.) Let the dough rise until just about double again inside the Dutch oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes to 1 hour.
• Notes: To get lighter dough you can substitute about 1/2 of your whole-wheat flour with white flour. However, you can still get remarkably light dough using all whole-wheat flour if you add the dough enhancer and gluten and make sure your gluten is properly formed during the kneading process. Adding the enhancer and gluten were tricks learned from my mother who raised us on home made whole-wheat bread. I have yet to find a better way to get whole-wheat bread as light and fluffy as this.
