Birdseed Bread

Terrific bread, silly name! This soft, chewy, nutty bread made with whole grain wheat and rye flours with sunflower seeds, flax and cracked wheat for added texture is easy to make with no preferment/sponge required and fairly quick proofing times.

The dough is enriched with a little oil, honey, brown sugar (which I left out by mistake) and baker’s caramel (which I omitted). It’s a little sticky but still quite easy to work with.

Sandwich buns are more popular than sliced bread in my family so that’s how I shaped the dough…….great flavour and texture, it’s become a new family favourite.
