Ingredients

  • Poppy Seed: 50g each poppy seeds and sesame seeds
  • Quinoa: 50g quinoa flour or extra rye flour
  • Salt: 2 tsp salt
  • Water: 300ml water
  • Wholemeal Flour: 350g wholemeal flour
  • Yeast: 7g sachet fast-action yeast
  • Treacle: 75ml black treacle
  • Sunflower Seed: 125g pack sunflower seeds
  • Rye: 100g rye flour
  • Caraway: 25g caraway seeds

Directions

  1. Mix the flours, salt, yeast, sunflower, caraway, and poppy seeds in a large bowl. Add the black treacle and water, then mix well. If the dough seems a little stiff, add 1 tbsp or more extra water. Mix well, then put on a lightly floured work surface and gently knead the dough for 7 mins. Put it back into a lightly oiled bowl for approx 2 hours until doubled in size.
  2. Line a tray with baking parchment. Tip the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knock back, then gently mould the dough into a ball. Roll the dough in the sesame seeds and place on the baking tray to prove for a further hour until doubled in size.
  3. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Cut the top into criss-cross slashes with a sharp knife and bake for 30 mins until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped underneath. Cool on a wire rack.
