Seedybread Recipes

SEEDED WHOLE-GRAIN QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Combine sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed and sesame seeds in a dry medium skillet; toast over medium heat, stirring, until lightly brown and starting to pop, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Reserve 2 tablespoons of the seed mixture in a small bowl; transfer the remaining seeds to a large bowl. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt to the large bowl; whisk to combine. Whisk eggs in a medium bowl, then stir in buttermilk, oats, oil and honey (or maple syrup). Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients; stir and fold together until combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the reserved seeds.
• Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

MULTIGRAIN SEEDED BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, and salt. In another bowl, mix the seeds with the oats.
• In a saucepan, combine the water and molasses and warm the mixture over low heat until a thermometer reads 120 to 130 degrees F (50 to 55 degrees C) .
• Add the liquid to the flour mixture with the egg white. Mix together until a soft dough forms.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 10 minutes; then shape into a ball. Lightly oil a large stainless steel bowl. Add the dough and turn to cover the dough with the oil. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 2 hours until doubled in size.
• When the dough has risen, punch the dough down with your fists and add all but 2 Tablespoons of the seed mixture working it into the dough. Reserve the 2 Tablespoons of seed mixture for the topping. Shape the dough into a loaf by rolling it into a 12 x 8 inch rectangle and then roll up by its shortest end. Pinch the ends together and tuck underneath. Place in a non-stick 9x5 inch loaf pan with the seam underneath. Cover the loaf pan with a tea towel and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in bulk.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Brush the top of the loaf with milk and sprinkle on the reserved seed mixture. Bake the bread for 30 minutes or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove the bread from the pan and let cool completely.

COPYCAT SEEDUCTION BREAD

Steps:

• If you are using instant yeast, stir it into the flour, then add the water and mix. If you are using regular, active dry yeast, mix the 1/4 teaspoon with a few tablespoons of the water until the yeast dissolves, then mix in 3 cups of flour.
• Either way, stir until the dough forms a very thick batter, cover and let rise for 4 or more hours at room temperature. Learn more about instant vs. active dry yeast here.
• Place the millet, sunflower seeds and pepitas you are using in a hot, dry skillet and toast 5 - 7 minutes until they begin to pop, stirring often. It is best not to leave the room while performing this procedure, seeds burn very quickly.
• Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
• When your sponge has risen and shows small bubbles all over the surface, stir it down.
• Dissolve the 1 teaspoon of yeast in about 2 tablespoons of water.
• In a separate bowl, stir together honey, molasses, and oil. Stir in dissolved yeast and 10-grain cereal. It can also be 7 grain or other cracked grain cereal of your choice.
• Add sponge, 1/4 cup of flour, salt, and vital wheat gluten. Mix until the dough comes together to form a ball.
• Knead for 5 to 10 minutes, adding flour until dough is only slightly sticky. Stir or knead in the toasted seeds and the poppy seeds, if using. Adjust dough consistency with flour or a little water as needed.
• Gather dough into a ball with wet hands and place in a clean, oiled bowl, turning once to coat. Cover bowl and let rise at room temperature until doubled in bulk.
• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Turn out onto lightly floured board and pat into a rectangle. Fold in thirds, then fold the other side, letter style, over the first. Brush off all excess flour. Rock the loaf into a long, torpedo shape and place on a parchment paper-lined pan.
• Optional: Dust the top with flour or whisk an egg white, brush it on and decorate with more seeds.
• Cover loaf of bread with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 or so minutes. Slash the top with a sharp razor blade or serrated knife.
• Bake for 10 minutes using steam , then reduce the temperature to 400°F and bake for 30 to 40 more minutes, or until the internal temperature of the bread is at least 190°F.
• This bread over- browns easily, due to the honey and, if using, the seeds decorating the loaf. If the bread is browning too, much, reduce oven temperature to 350°F and tent bread with aluminum foil.
• Let the bread cool on a rack to allow air flow around it, then slice.

BEST BASIC SWEET BREAD

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, sugar and butter. Heat until slightly warm to the touch then remove from heat and stir in the yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Mix in the eggs, oil and the yeast mixture. Mix until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and continue to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Grease a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of oil. Place the dough into the bowl and turn once to coat. Cover and let stand in a warm place until double in size, about 1 hour.
• Use remaining oil to grease a cookie sheet or 9x13 inch pan. For plain rolls, punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll the pieces into balls and place them into the greased pan side by side. Let dough rise for 20 to 25 minutes, or until almost double. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until rolls are golden brown.

SEEDY BREAD

Steps:

• Place water and seeds in the bread machine basket.
• Add the flour.
• Make a well in the center and put the sugar and yeast in it.
• Sprinkle the salt around the edges of the basket so it isn't mixed with the yeast and sugar.
• Select a setting for 1 1/2 pound loaf.
• Try this recipe for making delicious bread sticks too.
• Just stop the machine at the end of kneading and shape the dough into thick long rolls, brushing with oil.
• Allow them to rise until double in size and bake at 375.
• for 25-30 minutes.

GOOD SEED BREAD

Steps:

• Put ingredients in bread machine in order listed, and turn onto Dough setting. OR mix dry ingredients, add wet ingredients and use heavy-duty electric mixer (or your own brute strength) to mix and knead the dough for about 10 minutes. You may need more or less flour or water to make a smooth dough that you can work with (although having it a little sticky is okay).
• Place the dough in a greased bowl and turn so the greased side is on top OR spray the top with non-stick spray. Cover with a damp towel and let rise until double in bulk (about an hour).
• Remove the dough from the bowl and knead a few times by hand. Flatten and then roll to shape into your loaf. This makes a LARGE loaf, so if you want a smaller loaf, make a few rolls out of some of the dough. (I can get six rolls and a somewhat smaller loaf out of one recipe.).
• Combine about a half cup of seeds (use a nice variety) and oats in a wide dish.
• Use a wet dish towel and roll the loaf to moisten the outside. Then press all sides of the loaf into the seeds to coat well.
• Place the seed-coated loaf into your greased 8x4 (or slightly larger) loaf pan, spray with non-stick spray, cover with a damp towel and allow to rise about 40 minutes.
• Place a baking dish with an inch or two of water in it in your oven. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Place the loaf in the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes until it sounds hollow.
• Remove from pan and cool completely before slicing.
• Freezes very well. (I slice it and freeze it.).
