Flax & sunflower seed bread


I am a whole grain bread nut! I love crunchy seeds mixed in, too. Here is a recipe I made in my bread machine, although you can certainly make the dough and bake in the oven the traditional way. This recipe is from allrecipes.com. I took a pic with my phone so I don't one to post here, sorry!

Ingredients (this is the order I added into my bread machine, everyone's machine is different):
1 1/3 c water
2 tbsp soft butter
3 tbsp honey (we love honey, so was liberal here)
1 1/2 c bread flour (all purpose flour)
1 1/3 c whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt (we use kosher salt, its much more flavorful and no preservs)
1 tsp active yeast - that's one packet (careful not to touch the yeast with water)

Close the lid and start the machine - Basic White Cycle.

In the Knead Cycle, add:
1/2 c flax seeds (keep refrigerated)
1/2 c sunflower seeds

Yields a most delicious loaf of bread!

This looks so scrumptious. I am craving it. But instead I will slather some Raisan Bread with Nutella - it is the closest thing I have.

By the way, I have NEVER baked a cake. Any recommendations? I love decorating cakes, but have never baked one from scratch.

By the way, LOVE this blog. It inspires me to get off my duff and stop feeding the family leftovers. u are awesome!!
