adding seeds to bread

sianb84

Before my mum gave me her old bread maker, my OH and I used to love bread with seeds in and since making our own its something we both miss. So today I went and got some poppy seeds, linseed, and mustard seeds. I put them in a tub to mix and then when making bread this afternoon I threw a few handfuls in. We have just tried and OMG its so yummy.

does anyone else put seeds into their bread? what other seeds to people use?

Found a huge problem with making our bread - its too nice!!! We are now going through a loaf a day - we are still experimenting so having to try a bit as soon as its cooled down a bit! Hopefully this will settle down once we are more used to eating this bread.

I use the same as you and sunflower seeds as well. Sunflower seeds and black olives are fab!

I was going to get some sunflower seeds but forgot. After making the loaf this evening I thought it would be nice to add some but OH likes the seeds we have. I might try and get some next week if the budget allows and not tell OH until he is eating it!!!

Ive used sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds - my bread machine beeps when you can add any extra ingredients about 20 mins into its programme, which helps!!!

I love sesame/poppy/chopped sunflower seed with chopped walnuts,very yummy but it does tend to make you eat more bread.I try to use the seeds with wholemeal flour.

I used to work in a Chinese restaurant, occasionally the chef would make bread rolls with Chinese pork cooked inside of them, they were fantastic!

so glad you are using the bread maker I gave you and its going well Sian. With my stomach problem I can't add seeds but we still like the bread I make....a loaf every 2 - 3 days for us.
