Buttermilk Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

500 g flour
500 ml buttermilk
1 (40 g) fresh yeast cakes
1 teaspoon salt
50 g sunflower seeds
50 g pumpkin seeds
50 g flax seeds
50 g sesame seeds

Preparation

Warm the buttermilk, add the yeast and let stand for 10 minutes.
Mix together the flour and salt.
Add the buttermilk/yeast mixture and the \"seeds\". Mix well. The dough should be elastic, but not sticky. If necessary add more flour or milk until it reaches the correct consistency.
Knead dough 10 minutes. Cover with a cloth and leave it to rise until it doubles in a warm place.
Form a round loaf from the dough. Place on a greased sheet, cover and let it rise another 30 minutes.
During this time, preheat the oven to 250\u00b0C and place an ovenproof dish with boiling water on the bottom of the oven.
Once the oven has reached the correct temperature, place the bread on the middle rack and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 200\u00b0C and bake for approximately 45 minutes.
Remove bread from oven and brush with cold water to create a shiny crust.
