Nothing tastes (or smells) better than freshly baked bread. Baking does not require elaborate tools, machines, molds or ingredients. Bread is awesome.
Having grown up in Germany, I am used to an abundance of different types of bread. Wheat, rye, spelt, oat ... I must have eaten well over 50 types of bread over my life. I'm not too great with sourdough yet, but I'm working on that. Last night, I decided to bake some bread. I don't really eat white flour products, unless we're talking pasta or cupcakes (and other tasty sugar bombs), so of course I opted for whole wheat. As opposed to regular white wheat flour, whole wheat flour is rich in calcium, iron, and fiber. I added flaxseeds (and some sunflower seed oil) for some extra omega 3 fatty acids.
Whole Wheat Bread with Flaxseeds
Ingredients
- 400g of whole wheat flour
- 20g of gluten (if you don't have any, that's fine. Just add a bit more flour. The gluten helps with the fluffiness of the bread)
- 1 pack of dry yeast
- 12g of salt
- 60g of flax seeds (or any other seeds/nuts you like: pumpkin, sunflower, walnut, hazelnut...)
- 3 tablespoons of awesome oil (canola oil is great, so is sunflower, ...)
- warm water
