Molasses Seed Bread - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 cup warm water
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 1/2 tablespoons molasses
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon caraway seed
Preparation
-
Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit until frothy ~10 minutes.
Add oil, molasses, and whole wheat flour and mix until full incorporated.
Slowly add all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and salt. I usually use about 1.75 cups of the AP flour.
Add in seeds.
Knead in a mixer about 10 minutes, or longer if you're kneading by hand.
Place into a greased bowl and let rise until double, about 1.5 hours.
Deflate the dough and let rise again until double, about 50 minutes.
Deflate dough and flatten with a rolling pin into a long rectangle, about 8 inches wide.
Slowly roll the dough into an 8″ wide log, squeezing out all the excess air as you go.
Pinch seams together and place seam side down into a 8x4\" loaf pan.
Let rise about 30 minutes in loaf pan and preheat oven to 350.
Bake about 35-40 minutes.
