Birdseed Bread
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water 80°F/27°C
- 2 tsp butter melted
- 1 1/2 tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cup bread flour
- 3 tbsp oatmeal
- 1 tbsp sunflower seeds
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup flax seeds
- 1/4 cup wheat berries
- 1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
Instructions
- Use your large mixer with dough hook. Mix all dry ingredients in mixing bowl by hand with a whisk.
- Measure 1/2 cup water, and heat to recommended temperature.
- Add honey, salt and butter to the water. Add the liquids to the flour mixture.
- Mix the dough at slow speed until all ingredients are incorporated. Increase speed and knead for 10 minutes.
- Cover bowl and let rise in warm place until the dough is double in size, about 40 to 60 minutes. (Poke your finger into the dough, and if the hole remains, the dough is ready.)
- Punch dough down. Place on greased surface, and roll into an oblong about 1/2" thick. Roll up and pinch the edges thoroughly. Place the dough seam down into a greased 9 x 5 x 3 loaf pan. Cover and let rise 35 to 50 minutes, until doubled in size.
- Heat oven to 400° and bake bread 20 to 30 minutes, until the top sounds hollow when you tap it. Remove bread from pan and place on wire rack to cool. Or slice a piece of hot bread and slather it with butter and eat immediately!
