2 cups whole wheat flour
1 envelope dry yeast
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon sesame or vegetable oil
1 egg, separated
1/2 cup cracked wheat*
2 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 cups (about) unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 cup salted shelled sunflower seeds
2 1/2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons chopped pecans
2 teaspoons rolled oats

Add milk mixture to dry ingredients. Stir in egg yolk, remaining 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, cracked wheat and salt.

Pat each half into 1 1/2-inch-thick round. Place on prepared sheet. Cover and let rise in warm draft-free area until almost doubled, about 1 1/4 hours.

Repeat 4 more times, spacing evenly apart and dividing bread into fifths. Repeat with second loaf. Beat egg white with 1 tablespoon water. Brush over loaves. Sprinkle pecans in center of each loaf. Sprinkle oats, caraway seeds, fennel seeds, poppy seeds and 2 teaspoons sesame seeds into divided spaces.

Provided by Donna M.

Categories     Sourdough Breads

Time 3h45m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups proofed sourdough starter
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups white bread flour

Steps:

  • Measure all ingredients into bread machine pan, in order that they are listed.
  • Set machine for dough cycle and start.
  • At end of dough cycle, remove dough to lightly floured surface and shape into loaf.
  • Place in greased loaf pan, cover and let rise until bread is 1 to 2 inches above edges of pan.
  • Be patient, sourdough without the addition of commercial yeast can take up to several hours to rise.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F for 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
  • Top can be brushed with butter for a soft crust, if desired.
  • NOTE: To proof your starter, feed it with equal parts of flour and lukewarm water, then let it sit overnight or up to 12 hours, covered.
  • This is what develops the characteristic sour flavor and the longer the proof, the sourer it will be.
  • If you start with 1 cup of starter and feed it 1 cup each of water and flour, you should have enough to make your bread and save the rest to start your next batch.
