Last week, I baked this delicious crunchy spelled wholemeal bread with sunflower and pumpkin seeds, it's quite quick and easy to prepare and tastes great. I think that will be my favorite wholegrain bread now!
I would like to share the recipe with all friends of home-baked wholemeal bread! The preparation is very easy.
Ingredients for my 35 cm box shape
- 1 cube of fresh yeast
- 3 heaped tsp salt
- 750 g spelled wholemeal flour
- 1 pck of dry yeast
- 750 ml buttermilk (room warm)
- 1 tsp caraway (mortared)
- 60 g sunflower seeds
- 25 g pumpkin seeds
preparation
- First, the yeast is stirred with the salt until it is liquid (this is not a mistake, it is true)!
- Then mix the flour with the dried yeast and stir the flour mixture alternately with the room warm buttermilk - with the dough hook of a hand mixer - with the yeast mass until everything is well connected. There must be no dry flour left.
- Finally, mix in the sunflower and pumpkin seeds. The dough is pretty soft!
- Place the dough in the greased or baking paper-lined box and smooth the surface with a moistened spoon back, moistening the spoon over and over again.
- Now let the dough rest for about 20 to 30 minutes in a warm place.
- The oven is preheated to 200 degrees top and bottom heat, on the bottom of the oven you put a refractory container with water.
- After the rest period push the baking pan onto a rail at the bottom of the preheated oven. The bread has to be baked for about 70 to 90 minutes. About halfway through the baking time, I covered the mold with baking paper to keep the bread from getting too dark.
Tip: If you want to check if the bread is ready, take it out of the oven and out of the mold and knock on the bottom or sides of the bread - if it sounds hollow then the bread is ready! Otherwise it has to be baked for about 5 to 10 minutes.
After baking, a wonderful bread comes out of the oven with a delicious crusty crust, which, even if it has not yet cooled completely, is a treat with butter or lard!
Give it a try and you'll be thrilled like me.
I wish you happy baking and then a good appetite!
