Please make this. Thank you!
Whole Wheat Sunflower Bread:
4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tps fast yeast (I used 1 tsp but could have used the whole 4oz packet. I will do that next time) {The water the yeast is disolved in shouldn't exceed 110F.}
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 1/4 cups warm water
1. Grease and lightly flour bread pan
2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, yeast, salt and sunflower seeds. Make a well in the center and gradually stir in 1 1/4 cups warm water. Using wooden spoon, mix vigorously to form a soft, sticky dough. The dough should be quite sticky so don't be temped to add any extra flour.
3. Cover the bowl with a damp dish bowl and leave the dough to rise in a warm place for 45-50 min or until doubled bulk.
4. Preheat over to 400F/200C. Turn out the dough on a floured work surface and knead for 10 minutes- the dough will still be quite sticky.
5. Form the dough into a rectangle and place it in the prepared loaf tin. Sprinkle the top with sunflower seeds. Cover with a damp dish bowl and leave to rise for another 15 minutes.
6. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden. Leave in dish for 5 minutes, then turn out and cool on a wire rack.
Notes: Use a whole 4oz packet of the yeast. I found the dough to be more dry and added about 2 cups of water total. I would follow the recipe and then add more if you feel its needed.
