Firstly using milk and kneeding the dough and making a traditional round cake of bread. This was followed by my slightly less effort loaf using just flour and water. It's soooo easy I'll explain how I made both.
Ingredients (per loaf/cake)
- 1 lb of brown bread flour
- 1 pint of milk/water
- 3 tbsp of pumpkin & sunflower seeds
Method (Traditional round cake)
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees
- Put the flour in a mixing bowl and add the milk (you may not need all the milk, just add until you feel you have a pliable dough).
- Add the seeds and mix through.
- Dust a worktop with flour, and start kneeding your dough out on the work surface.
- Shape into a round cake.
- Dust a baking sheet with flour, and place the cake onto the tray.
- Using a serrated knife, cut a deep cross in the cake.
- Bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack, covered with a clean tea towel.
Method (Bread Loaf)
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees
- Put the flour in a mixing bowl and add the water and the seeds.
- Spray a 1lb loaf tin with cooking stray.
- Pour the dough in to the tin and bang on the worktop to ensure the dough sits evenly and this gets rid of air pockets.
- Bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack, covered with a clean tea towel.
