Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 75 g sunflower seeds
  • 50 g pumpkin seeds
  • 350 g water, lukewarm
  • 500 g wholemeal spelt flour
  • 5 g fresh yeast
  • 10 g salt
  • 15 g apple cider vinegar
  • 10 g sugar beet syrup or maple syrup
  • 20 g butter
  • Fat for the mold

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 55 minutes; Total time approx. 3 hours 40 minutes

Roast the sunflower and pumpkin seeds in a pan and then place them in a mixing bowl with 150g of lukewarm water to soak for about 30 minutes. Once soaked, add all the other ingredients and knead into a dough using a food processor or hand mixer, stirring slowly for about 8 minutes and then at high speed for about 2 minutes. Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes. Then roll the dough in oatmeal or something similar and let it rest for another 60 minutes in a greased loaf pan. Bake in an oven preheated to 250°C (top/bottom heat) on the middle rack for 5 minutes, then open the oven door briefly and reduce the temperature to 190°C. Bake the bread for another 50 minutes. Tip: For better volume, place an ovenproof bowl of hot water on the floor of the oven.
