912.0. "BREAD: Sunflower Seed Bread" by BLURB::DARROW () Tue Jan 05 1988 17:19

  Lately, the Spitbrook cafeteria has been serving loaves of 
  bread baked with sunflower seeds.  The bread is heavier than
  a white bread, but not as dense as wheat. It's very tasty.

  Does anyone have a recipe for a similar bread?

912.2	Sunflower Seed Bread	WAGON::ANASTASIA	It's in every one of us	`Mon Jan 11 1988 08:46`	49
	I found this recipe while I was reading Jane Brody's Good Food book this weekend. It calls for all whole wheat flour, but if you want a different consistency, mix unbleached white and whole wheat. I haven't made this, I hope it's not too complicated. I know that I've seen sunflower seed bread at the grocery store, I can picture the wrapper but can't remember the brand. I think that is a brand of natural breads that are from Vermont. Next time I shop, I'll check the brand. Sunflower Loaf 1-1/4 cup warm water (105 to 110 degrees F) 1 package active dry yeast 1 tsp sugar 1/4 cup honey 1/2 cup buttermilk 1-1/2 tsp salt 4 cups stoneground whole-wheat flour 1/2 cup toasted sunflower seeds 1 egg yolk 1 tbl milk 1/2 cup untoasted sunflower seeds 1. Place warm water in a large bowl and dissolve the yeast and sugar. Let the mixture stand for about 10 minutes until the yeast starts to foam. 2. Add the honey, buttermilk, and salt. Stir to dissolve honey. 3. Add flour and toasted sunflower seeds. Mix well. The dough will be sticky. 4. Turn the dough out on a lightly floured board. knead for about 10 minutes. Shape into a ball. Lightly coat the dopugh with flour and place it on a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise on a warm, draft-free place for 20 minutes. 5. Knead the dough briefly and form into a ball. let the dough rise, covered, for a second time, for about 40 minutes. Shape dough into a loaf. 6. Mix the egg yolk and the milk. Brush the top of the loaf with egg mixture. Sprinkle the untoasted sunflower seeds on a work surface. Roll the top of the loaf in the seeds. Place the loaf in a greased 1-1/2 quart loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise 45 minutes or until the loaf is about one inch over the top of the pan. 7. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 40 minutes or until the bread sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
912.3	Here's an easy way to bake nut bread	REGAL::RAK		`Sat Feb 13 1988 00:05`	15
	I moved from the Washington, D.C. area, down there we call this type of bread "jogging bread". Since it is very wholesome and does tend to be very heavy. Just take nuts and seeds such as sunflower nuts and poppy seeds. Add them to your favorite recipe. If you use a white bread recipe, I suggest using at least 1/2 wheat flour in place of the white. It give the bread a slightly heavier texture and is more wholesome. Try not to use shortening in your recipe. I've also found that egg beaters will suffice in recipes for people who are watching their diet. Bon Apetit!
