Homemade Bread with Sunflower Seed Oil

Homemade Bread with Sunflower Seed Oil

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 packet of active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 1 cup of warm water
• 2 tablespoons of sunflower seed oil
• 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
2. Gradually add the warm water and sunflower seed oil to the dry ingredients, mixing well until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
6. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Brush the top of the loaf with water and sprinkle sunflower seeds on top.
8. Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
9. Allow the bread to cool before slicing and serving.
   Tips

• Make sure the water you use is not too hot or too cold, as this can affect the yeast’s ability to rise.
• You can customize this recipe by adding other seeds or nuts to the dough for extra flavor and texture.
• Store the bread in an airtight container or bag to keep it fresh for longer.
