Description
This easy bread recipe features a vibrant Golden Turmeric Seed Crust, filling your kitchen with an aromatic scent. It’s a simple, hearty loaf perfect for family meals and healthy living.
Ingredients
- 3 cups white all-purpose or bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (105-115F or 40-46C)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.25 cup mixed seeds (sesame, poppy, sunflower, flax)
Instructions
- Prepare Workspace: Gather ingredients and tools. Preheat oven to 400F (200C) with a 9×13 inch baking sheet inside.
- Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar (or honey), and active dry yeast. Let mixture stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Mix Dough: Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the foamy yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy, cohesive dough forms, ensuring all dry ingredients are incorporated.
- Knead Dough: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. (A stand mixer with a dough hook can be used for 6-8 minutes).
- First Rise: Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil, place kneaded dough inside. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Shape Loaf: Gently punch down the risen dough and turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Shape the dough into your desired rustic round or oblong loaf.
- Apply Turmeric Seed Crust: Lightly brush the top of the shaped loaf with water or olive oil. In a small bowl, combine ground turmeric with mixed seeds, then generously sprinkle and gently press the mixture over the loaf.
- Second Rise: Carefully transfer the loaf to parchment paper on the baking sheet. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until noticeably puffy.
- Bake Loaf: Place the baking sheet with the loaf into the preheated oven. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow. (Tent with aluminum foil for the final 10 minutes for an extra soft crust).
- Cool Completely: Immediately transfer the baked loaf to a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely for at least an hour before slicing.
Notes
Ensure yeast is active before use; if it doesn’t foam, discard and restart. A stand mixer can expedite kneading. For a softer crust, tent the loaf with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. Always cool bread completely on a wire rack for at least an hour before slicing to prevent gumminess. Use fresh ingredients for best flavor and texture.
