Whole Wheat Sunflower Seeds Bread

It's been a while not posted and cooked anything special! So thought of doing the COME BACK with everyone and mine favorite 'Baking'!

After referring to many website thought of making the Sunflower Seeds Bread and that too NO Sugar! Isn't it amazing to know that :) with an addition of no butter too :) :)

Let's take look at Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cup - Whole Wheat Flour ( I used King Arthur Whole Wheat Flour)
• 1 1/2 cup - All purpose Flour 
• 2 tsp - Instant Active Yeast 
• 2 tbsp - oil or 2 tbsp butter (Anything would do)
• 2 tbsp - Honey 
• 1/4 cup - Sun flower seeds 
• 1 1/2 tsp - Salt 
• 1 1/3 cup - warm water 

Method:

• Take 1 cup of warm water, add yeast and honey to it. Keep it aside and let it get rise. 
• Sieve the All purpose flour, wheat flour, salt and add oil to it. 

• Add the proven yeast mixture into the sieved flour and start kneading slowly. Keep adding rest of the 1/3 cup warm water into the flour as required. At first it will be sticky, but then it will form like spring dough. If you want to grease your hand with oil, go ahead and do it. Knead for about 8-10 minutes. 
• Transfer it to the greased bowl and cover it with food wrap. It is summer so dough will rise amazingly high :) :) Look at mine! looks perfect :) :) Let it rise for 1 1/2 hour. This is the first rise. 

• Take the bowl out and punch the dough with your fist. Add half of the sunflower seeds and knead again. Add remaining sunflower seeds and knead for couple of minutes. 
• Put the dough in the greased loaf pan and let it rise for 45 minutes again. This will be your 2nd Rise. 
• Preheat the oven on 375F and bake for 30-35 minutes. 

Your house will be full of Bread Aroma :) :) :) :)



Take it out once done, put it on the cooling rack! Cut it with the bread knife. 

Happy Baking :) :)

White Bread

Why not to build our Immunity Strong :) a very simple to make and works for two versions:

1. Paav Bread

2. White Bread for Sandwiches :)

I tried this time making White Bread. Isn't that amazing !!! Got this recipe from one of my aunt and now passing it to you all :) :) 

Let's quickly look at Ingredients:

1.  2 cups - All Purpose Flour

2.  1 cup - Luke warm milk

3.  1 tsp - Salt

4.  4 tsp - Butter

5.  1 1/2 tbsp - Milk Powder

6.  2 tsp - Instant Yeast

7.  1 tbsp - Sugar

8.  Milk & Butter for brushing

Add sugar, 1/2 cup luke warm milk and yeast. Let it rest for 10 -15 minutes, let the bubble rise.  Make sure you take luke warm milk, not too cold and not too hot. 

Take All Purpose Flour, milk powder and salt. Once Yeast mixture is ready, add it into the flour mixture.  Start kneading with remaining half cup milk slowly. At first, it will be sticky and that is how it should be. 

Now add butter & knead again for around 15 minutes. Make the soft dough.

 Important is kneading the dough. Make sure you knead it VERY properly to make soft dough. 

Make a ball size dough and keep it for the rise for around 1 & half hour. Cover it with a napkin and place it in oven. Don't switch on the oven. Just keep it in dark. 

Once dough is doubled in size, take it out. Knead the dough again for couple of minutes. 

Grease the loaf pan and place the doigh inside the pan. 

Cover it with towel or napkin. Let it rise again for 1 hour. 

After the 2nd rise, preheat the oven at 375F. 

Keep the loaf pan for 20 minutes till it brown. And then see the results!!!

Bake and enjoy with your family :) Please write to me for any queries :)

So, today I tried making the Paav (bhaaji- Paav) with the same & exact recipe mentioned above. 

After the 1st rise, knead for couple of minutes. And then make it flat and give a shape of your choice. Usually, it is square shape but I tried with round ones :) 

Put it in greased pan and cover it with a food wrap or damp cloth. Let it rise for 45-50 minutes

When 20 minutes are left, preheat the oven on 390F and keep it inside for 20 minutes. And Below are the results :) :) 

Happy Baking :)
