Seed BreadIf you like a nutty-flavoured bread recipe, then Seed Bread is for you. This healthful, high-fibre bread machine recipe contains all the goodness of flax, sesame and poppy seeds. Please feel free to substitute any other of your favourite seeds with the ones listed here - just remember to use equal amounts .This recipe is for 1 1/2 to 2 lb. (750 g - 1 kg) bread loaf pans.
In order, place water, honey, oil, salt, flours, seeds and yeast into your baking pan. Remember not to let the liquids touch the yeast. Choose whole wheat setting on your bread machine. Remove baked loaf from pan and cool on rack. If you would like a hearth-type bread: Simply make the dough in the bread machine and then remove to a floured surface. Punch down the dough and gently pull into a 8 x 11 inch (20 x 28 cm) rectangle. Starting at the narrow end, roll up into a cylinder, pinch along the bottom to smooth and seal. Fit it into a greased 8 x 4 inch (1.5 L) loaf pan. Cover and let rise for 1 hour (or until doubled in size). Brush the top of the loaf with water. With a sharp knife, cut a slash about 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep along the length of the top. If you wish, sprinkle extra seeds on top. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes. Loaf will be brown and should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove from pan and cool on a rack.
