Hi everyone,
As there is one thing dominating the news, I thought that I'd post a photo of some bread I made earlier today. I love baking my own bread as I know what I'm eating. My home smells wondeful and it's all very cheerful and I like that. I often substitute with different flour so this uses a shop bought GF flour mix.
Here's the recipe:
450g gluten free Brown Bread Flour (I use Doves farm)
30g sesame seeds
50g pumpkin seeds
1 tea spoon sea salt.
2 tea spoons yeast.
1 tea spoon brown sugar.
400ml luke warm water
3 free range eggs.
1 table spoon olive oil.
I use dried active yeast as some quick acting yeast contain gluten.
First dissolve the sugar in 100ml boiling water add cold water to 400ml and add the yeast and leave to wake up while you put everything else in a good processor and then add to the rest of the mix and whiz up, Spread into 2 small loaf tins or a large one I made a large loaf with 2 rolls. Leave to prove for approx 30 mins I use my top oven slightly preheated then bake in the main oven for approx 30/35mins. I sprinkle some seeds on top as well.
And I'll pop one in the freezer for another day. π
