If you are looking for a healthy and delicious bread recipe, sunflower bread is an excellent choice. This bread is full of sunflower seeds, which are rich in vitamins and minerals, and has a smooth and pleasant taste. Here is a detailed step by step on how to make sunflower bread.
Ingredients:
- 500 grams of wheat flour
- 10 grams of salt
- 10 grams of sugar
- 15 grams of fresh yeast
- 300 ml of warm water
- 100 grams of sunflower seeds
- 1 egg for brushing
Preparation:
Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the middle of the mixture.
Step 2: Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and pour it into the hole you made in the flour mixture. Mix everything until it forms a dough. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.
Step 3: Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 4: Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 5: While the dough is rising, toast the sunflower seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until they are lightly browned. Let it cool.
Step 6: After the dough has risen, knead it again to remove the air. Add the toasted sunflower seeds and knead until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7: Form the dough into a loaf and place in a greased loaf pan. Cover again with the damp cloth and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Step 8: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Brush the top of the bread with the beaten egg and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and makes a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom.
Step 9: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
This sunflower bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast or simply eaten on its own. The sunflower seeds give it a wonderful flavor and texture, and the bread is light and fluffy. Once you try it, you'll never want to buy store-bought bread again!
