Bread Machine Seedy Bread by Erythrosine


1.25 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons honey
2 cups unbleached bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour (preferably the King Arthur 100% whole grain white wheat)
1.5 teaspoons salt
2.25 teaspoons instant yeast (or 1 package active dry yeast)
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
3 tablespoons raw sunflower seeds
3 tablespoons raw sesame seeds
2 tablespoons wheat gluten

Add all ingredients to pan in any order. (Measure the oil before the honey and the molasses, using the same measuring cup. Two tablespoons equals half of a quarter-cup measure.) Set the bread machine to "sweet" setting and select "light" crust, as the molasses and honey make it a dark crust in any case. (Recipe based on "Seeduction", without the raw millet seeds, which hurt my teeth.) If you want this to be ready for breakfast, using the timer, put the water in first, make a pile of the flours on top, and place the yeast in a slight depression on top of the flours, so the yeast won't get wet and start growing until the bread is mixed.
