Apricot And Honey Bread - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
1.5 oz sunflower seeds, shelled
1.5 oz flax seeds
1.5 oz slivered almonds
1 x .25 oz package dried yeast
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup honey
2.5 oz chopped dried apricots
2 tbsp butter, melted, plus extra to serve
Preparation
-
In a large bowl, sift flours together. Stir in seeds, almonds, yeast, cinnamon and salt. Make a well in the center.
In a small saucepan, combine milk and honey. Stir over low heat until lukewarm. Add to dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead 8-10 mins, until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with tea towel. Set aside in warm place 1 hour, until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F. Lightly grease large baking sheet. Punch down dough with fist to release gas. Turn onto floured surface and knead for 2-3 mins. Roll out to 10x14 inch rectangle, 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle with apricots. Roll up, from short end.
Place on baking sheet and brush lightly with melted butter. Set aside in a warm place for 30-45 mins, until almost doubled in size. Bake for 25-30 mins, until golden and loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve fresh or toasted with extra butter.
