Whole Wheat Bread With Sunflower Seeds And Walnuts
CDKitchen https://www.cdkitchen.com
Serves/Makes: 1 loaf | Ready In: 2-5 hrs
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons olive oil
5 tablespoons honey, molasses or maple syrup
3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon bread dough enhancer
1/4 cup sunflower seeds, chopped
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, or in the bowl of an electric mixer or in a bread machine, combine all of the ingredients, mixing to form a shaggy dough. Allow the dough to rest for 20 minutes (this gives the flour a chance to absorb the liquids), then knead it for about 10 minutes, till it's smooth and supple. (If you're using a bread machine, allow it to go through its entire dough cycle, then shape it as directed below.) The dough will seem very wet and slack at first; just keep mixing, and eventually it'll come together, though it will remain sticky.
Note: For the optimal rise, we recommend using either a bread machine (set on the dough setting) or electric mixer to mix and knead this dough, with the bread machine being the first choice; kneading by hand will result in a smaller, denser loaf.
Allow the dough to rise, in a greased, covered bowl, for 1 hour. Shape it into a log, and place it in a lightly greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch bread pan.
Cover the pan (with a dough rising cover, or lightly greased plastic wrap) and allow it to rise for about 1 hour, till it's crowned about 2 inches over the rim of the pan.
Bake the bread in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 45 minutes, tenting it lightly with aluminum foil for the final 20 minutes of baking.
