Hi. Never done this before. I have looked at a recipe on line
400g malted grain brown bread flour, or wholemeal or granary bread flour
100g strong white bread flour
7g sachet easy-bake dried yeast (or 2 tsp Quick dried yeast)
1.5 tsp salt
1 tbsp soft butter
4 tbsp mixed seed (optional), such as linseed, pumpkin, sesame and sunflower, plus extra for sprinkling
I was wondering about the yeast. I have heard that you can either add it into the flower or mix it with warm water to activate it. What I have seen is Allinson's Dried Active Yeast
Do I
1) Add the yeast to the flower or
2) Mix the yeast with warm water for (10 minutes?), then add it to the warm water to mix it in. Then mix with the flower, butter and salt. (more butter even? OR add double cream?)
Love to have a go. This recipe does not give any indication of the size or amount of bread this would make.
