MORE JAM & BREAD

 

We've been playing around with our bread recipes and have honed in on our favorites.
Our staple loaves are variations on our initial molasses bread, with tweaks depending on what we're going for.

 

Today we made our take on a Seeded Omega-3 Sandwich Bread with Strawberry Chia Seed Jam.

YUM!

This bread isn't as sweet as the molasses bread which makes it nice for sandwiches, but I have to say our darkest molasses bread recipe still wins as my all time favorite, though I do appreciate the other varieties we've come up with so far including this one today:

 

Seeded Omega-3 Sandwich Bread 

 

3 lb. recipe divided to two 12" loaf pans

2 1/2 cups warm water plus 3 Tbsp. (100-110 degrees)

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1/4 cup molasses (organic unsulphured blackstrap)

 

1/2 cup honey

 

2 tsp. sea salt

6 cups whole wheat flour

1/2 cup ground flax meal

4 Tbsp. chia seeds

2 Tbsp. whole flax seeds

2 cups whole oats

4 1/2 tsp. yeast (2 packets) active dry or bread machine

 

Put ingredients into bread machine pan in order listed. Set to "dough". (It may need a bit of help incorporating.)

Once dough is finished, divide evenly. Top each loaf with sunflower seeds/chia seeds & (optional) egg wash.

 

Bake @ 375 degrees for 30 min.

More jam & bread...so yummy and fun!
 

As for our next reevaluation...A raised bed edible garden is in the works for a backyard renovation project.
It'll be an ongoing experiment for us (small scale for now) that we've always wanted to explore. Can't wait!!
