Recipe for Zucchini and Carrot Bread with Pumpkin and Sunflower Seeds

I love the lovely aroma of freshly baked bread. I’m unsure whether it is the love for this aroma or the love for fresh, home-baked nutritious bread that drives me to make bread at home so often.

Today, I am sharing with my readers a bread recipe that I follow quite often at my home. I usually use it to make Chicken sandwiches that I often send in my children’s lunch boxes. This bread is light, has a mild flavour and is perfect for eating cold too, and needless to say that it has a whole lot of good ingredients, making it a healthy and nutritious meal.

So, let us start:

Ingredients needed:

• 500 gm Refined Flour ( Type 405)
• 1 tbsp Flaxseed Powder
• 1 Cup Grated Zucchini
• 1 Cup Grated Carrots
• ½ Cup Sunflower Seeds
• ½ Cup Pumpkin Seeds
• 2 tsp Salt
• 7 gm Instant Dry Yeast
• 10 gm Sugar
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• Water; for kneading

Method:

• Toast the sunflower and pumpkin seeds on medium heat. Keep them aside and let them cool.
  
  
  
• Mix 1/2 cup of water with yeast and sugar in a small bowl.
• In a big mixing bowl, add refined flour.
  
  
  
• Add grated zucchini and carrots.
  
  
  
• Add salt, flaxseed powder and seeds. Mix everything.
  
  
  
• Now add the sugar and yeast mixture.
  
  
  
• Add water and knead a soft dough.
  
  
  
• Cover and let it rest in a warm place for an hour. After an hour, the dough will double in size.
  
  
  
• Add oil and knead it once more. Transfer the dough to a baking mould.
  
  
  
• Rest in a warm place for 30 minutes. The dough will rise again.
  
  
  
• Preheat the oven to 200 deg C for 10 minutes. Then transfer the bread mould into the oven. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely before slicing it.
