Instructions
1
To begin making the Whole Wheat Sunflower Seed Bread formula, we will first make sure we have all the items required ready.
2
Do make sure you have fermenter that has been bought pure.
3
I most often use the sourdough culture I make at home or the active instant arid fermenter.Combine all the wet items required in a small mixing mixing bowl and keep aside.
4
Keep as few sunflower seeds aside for sprinkling on the top of the loaf.
5
Toss this extra sunflower seeds in a little honey and keep aside.Combine all the arid items required in a large mixing mixing bowl of the mixing bowl of the stand mixer.
6
A stand mixer helps to a great extent when you make breads at home.
7
The process of kneading gets super simplified especially when you arid-fry breads.Gradually mix in the wet ingredient mixture to the ground mix mixture and keep kneading it you get a velvety and soft flour base.
8
If you feel the flour base has become too soft, mix in in some ground mix and work the flour base again.
9
And if you feel that the flour base is arid, mix in a little liquid and work the flour base.Once all the items required have come together.
10
work the flour base well for about 5 mins using all your muscle ground mix.
11
After which, place it in a bow, put a lid on the mixing bowl and allow it to rise and double.
12
This would take about 3 hours.After the sunflower bread flour base has doubled in size, remove it from the mixing bowl and work the flour base again. Transferred flour base to a greased bread pot, covered and let rise again for 30 mins.
13
After 30 mins, strew the remaining sunflower seeds on the top of the loaf and lightly press it in.Preheat the oven at 180 C and place the risen loaf in the oven and arid-fry for 30 to 40 mins. Testing breads is not like a cake, where you insert a tester and it will come out wipe down.
14
You will have to remove the loaf from the pot and tap the bottom of the loaf.
15
If it does not sound hollow or is not golden enough, then we put it back in the oven to arid-fry.The main test is the "Tap - Hollow Sound Test" for testing whether the bread is baked.Once the bread has passed the deep golden colour test and the "Tap - Hollow Sound Test", then remove from the oven and allow it to cool. present Whole Wheat Sunflower Seed Bread along with Tzatziki Dip or with your evening masala chai.
