Corn And Poppy Seed Loaf Recipes

CORN AND POPPY SEED LOAF

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, corn flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a medium saucepan, heat milk, water and butter until warm. Stir milk mixture and egg into flour mixture. Mix in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 6 to 8 minutes. Knead in the poppy seeds last, reserving 1 tablespoon for topping. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
• Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Form into loaf and place in a lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown and bottom of loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove loaf from pan, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon poppy seeds. Place on a wire rack to cool.

Knead in remaining flour to make a stiff dough, and continue kneading for 6 to 8 minutes. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, and turn once to grease surface. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled.
• Meanwhile, pour boiling water over poppy seeds; let stand 30 minutes. Drain thoroughly, and place in a blender. Grind. In a small bowl, blend together ground poppy seeds, chopped nuts, honey, and lemon zest. Beat 1 egg white until stiff, and fold into poppy seed mixture.
• Punch down dough, and divide in half. Cover, and let rest for 10 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll half of the dough into 24 x 8 inch rectangle. Spread with half the poppy seed mixture.

Let rise for 30 to 45 minutes, or until doubled.

GLUTEN AND CORN FREE BREAD LOAF WITH POPPY SEEDS

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients into a food mixer - But not all of the water at once. Turn the mixer on slowly to start with, then speed it up once all the ingredients are combined. Gradually add the rest of the water until the consistency of cake batter.
• Put the mixture into a greased 2 lb loaf tin. Deep sides are best as the mixture can run over the edge when it rises. Cover with cling film or a clean tea towel, leave in a warm place for approximately 30 minutes, when it's risen by about a 1/3rd. Don't be tempted to leave it longer thinking it will be a larger loaf as it will either sink in the oven or, end up with large holes and fall apart.
• Preheat your oven to 180°C, 350°F, Gas Mark 4 Bake in the middle of the oven for approx 1 hr 20 mins. Leave in the tin for about 10 minutes before turning out. If it feels too soft, put back in the oven for another 10 minutes on a baking tray until it's a bit firmer. If you don't do this and you try to cut it once cold, it might be sticky inside. Also, the inside might collapse and you'll just have a cave of crust. I've done this myself on occasion.
