Ingredients for Seeded Artisan Bread
1 cup (240ml) warm water
3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon (10g) sugar
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons (9g) salt
2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
2 tablespoons (20g) mixed seeds (flax, chia, sesame, or sunflower seeds for added crunch and nutrition)
Instructions for Making Homemade Seeded Bread
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, mix warm water (not too hot!) with sugar.
Sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. This ensures active, fluffy dough.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, stirring until the dough starts forming.
Step 3: Add Nutrient-Rich Seeds
Mix in seeds (like chia, sesame, or flax).
Knead by hand or with a stand mixer and dough hook for 8-10 minutes until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
Step 4: Let the Dough Rise
Shape dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl.
Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Step 5: Shape the Dough
Once risen, gently deflate the dough.
Shape into a loaf or rolls, depending on your preference.
Step 6: Second Rise
Place dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet or loaf pan.
Cover and let it rise again for 30-45 minutes, until slightly puffed.
Step 7: Bake the Artisan Bread
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake for 25-30 minutes (20 minutes for rolls), until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Let bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Serve warm or store for later perfect for sandwiches or toast!
