In Europe we have a good bread but here in Taiwan, everything is too soft, too sweet or simply not bread at all. After fine tuning this I miss a good bread no more.

Ingredients

3 hours
20 servings
  1. 600 gramswhite flour
  2. 400 gramswhole grain flour
  3. 10 pinchsalt
  4. 1 pinchsugar
  5. 11 gramsdried (instant) yeast
  6. 4 pinchcaraway
  7. 4 pinchitalian or provance herbs
  8. 1 dashpumpkin seeds
  9. 1 dashsunflower seeds
  10. 600 mllukewarm water

Cooking Instructions

3 hours
  1. 1

    Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl, preferably a plastic one.

  2. 2

    For the herbs, use by your taste. For me its about one palm, let's say a tablespoon.

  3. 3

    For pumpkin and sunflower seeds use one or two tablespoons from each, only one of them or none, all works fine. Depends on your taste ;)

  4. 4

    Add wated and start kneading the dough with your hands. You may need to add more water as you proceed. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour. If it's too dry, use more water. No exact amounts are required, this is not a rocket science ?(????)

  5. 5

    Make sure you work hard on the kneading. Show that little thing, who is the Boss around here.

  6. 6

    After you've done your job right and the dought is a pretty non-sticky ball sitting in the bowl, cover the bowl with a partially wet cloth and let rise for about one hour.

  7. 7

    You may repeat previous step should you choose to, some say the bread twice risen tastes better.

  8. 8

    Preheat oven to 200 °C. Put the dough on a baking tray (you may use a baking paper beneath). Coat the bread with water mixed with salt for glossy finish. Make 3 paralel cuts at the top of the dough and insert in to the oven for about 1 hour.

  9. 9

    Check the bread after some 40 minutes, if it's too brown, switch off the upper heater and let it bake the remaining time using only the bottom heater.

  10. 10

    After it's done, let cool down outside the oven. Enjoy ;)
