Ingredients :
1 cup (240ml) warm water3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour1 tablespoon (10g) sugar1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast1 1/2 teaspoons (9g) salt2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil2 tablespoons (20g) mixed seeds (such as flax, chia, sesame, or sunflower seeds)
Préparations :
Activate the Yeast:In a small bowl, combine warm water (not hot) with sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. This step ensures the yeast is active.Prepare the Dough:In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the foamy yeast mixture and olive oil, mixing until the dough starts to come together.Incorporate the Seeds:Add the mixed seeds to the dough. Knead by hand or with a mixer using a dough hook on medium speed for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.First Rise:Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.Shape the Dough:Once risen, gently deflate the dough and turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a loaf or divide it into rolls, depending on your preference.Second Rise:Place the shaped dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or into a loaf pan. Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until slightly puffed.Preheat and Bake:Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Rolls may bake faster, around 20 minutes.Cool and Serve:Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing.Enjoy.
