Whole Wheat Artisan Bread With Seeds

配料

2 cups whole wheat flour

2 cups all-purpose flour*

1 tsp active dry yeast

2 tsp sea salt

1/4 cup sunflower seeds**

1/4 cup flax seeds**

1/4 cup pumpkin seeds**

2 1/2 cups warm water

*note: you can substitute all-purpose flour for whole wheat. It works perfectly fine!

**note: I've added three different types of seeds here, but you could really add anything at all! Ground flax is a favourite of mine.

步骤

1) Mix all the dry ingredients into a large bowl.

2) Add water slowly and mix well. The dough will be quite shaggy (rough-looking dough) when all together - you may not need all the water depending on what kind of flour you use.

3) Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and let it sit on the counter for 12-18 hours.

4) Preheat your oven to 450 F (not for 12 hours, please!). Put a cast iron pot** into the oven (with lid ON) to heat as the temperature rises. Once heated, remove the pot, as well as the lid.***

5) Flour a workspace and your hands and gently remove the dough from the bowl. Roughly shape the dough into a ball and place it inside of the pot. Place the lid on the pot and put it inside the oven.

5) Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on and another 15-20 minutes with the lid removed - until a perfect golden brown.

6) Carefully remove from oven and place on rack to cool completely.

**note: you do not have to use a cast iron pot(dutch oven). ANY oven-safe covered vessel will do, I’ve even read people use a crock pot insert with foil over the top instead of the lid!

***note: if the pot is not hot enough, your dough will stick to the bottom! To avoid this, do not skip this step!

备注

If you have Spent Grain Flour, you can substitute up to 1/2 cup of the Whole Wheat flour for the Spent Grain Flour.

The author recently updated this recipe and noted that you may not need all of the water. From my experience, if you add all of the water the recipe call for, the dough is too wet and will be extremely hard to work with and will not hold its shape. In that case, add more flour to bring the dough together.

We have used Pepitas, shelled Sunflower seeds and Hemp Seed Hearts when making this recipes.
