Bird Seed Bread for #BreadBakers

By

I made these loaves -  Bird Seed Bread - for the #BreadBakers' March event. See the bottom of this post for more information about this great bread baking group. Our hostess this month is Karen of Karen's Kitchen Stories. And she picked SEEDS for this month's theme.

I opted to make a seeded loaf with black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds.


 Ingredients
  • 1 T active, dry yeast
  • 1 T organic granulated sugar
  • 3/4 C warm water
  • 1 1/2 C organic plain yogurt, whole milk
  • 3 T honey
  • 2 T hazelnut oil
  • 1 t freshly ground salt
  • 1 T black sesame seeds + more for garnish
  • 1 T white sesame seeds
  • 1 T flax seed meal
  • 1 T pumpkin seeds + more for garnish
  • 1 T sunflower seeds + more for garnish
  • 1 T chia seeds
  • 1 T ground almonds
  • 1/2 C  rolled oats
  • 5-1/2 C whole wheat pasty flour
  • olive oil

 Procedure
Place warm water and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Float active dry yeast on top. Let bloom for 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients - except the olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon to make a sticky dough.

Knead the dough well and place it in an oiled bowl, covered with a dish towel. Let rise for 3 hours.
Punch the dough down and give it one final rise for 30 minutes.

While the oven preheats to 425 degrees F, form the dough into a baguette shape. Brush the top with cold water, then sprinkle with seeds for garnish.


Bake at 425 for 20 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 400 for another 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing into it.

    I love the name and all the seeds. I didnt use pumpkin seeds because I thought they may be to big. Perhaps I will try them next time.

      I think they are a little large, but - maybe - chop them if you think they're too big.

    Your bread's title reminds me of how much my grandmother enjoyed feeding the birds. She would have had all of these ingredients in her kitchen and would love this bread.

      Hmmmm...I think for variety, yes. But for volume, I think Sophie's Makowiec wins!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
