Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 150 grams Bread flour
- 20 grams Flax seeds
- 20 grams Chia seeds
- 30 grams Sunflower seeds
- 30 grams Pumpkin seeds
- 7 grams Quick-rise active dry yeast
- 10 grams Salt
- 20 grams Honey
- 15 milliliters Olive oil
- 300 milliliters Warm water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and bread flour.
Add the flax seeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds to the flour mixture. Stir well to combine.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add quick-rise active dry yeast and salt, keeping them on opposite sides of the well.
Pour the honey, olive oil, and warm water into the well.
Using a wooden spoon, gradually incorporate the ingredients until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, covering it with a damp cloth.
Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat the oven to 230°C (450°F) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into two equal pieces and shape each into a baguette, about 30 cm (12 inches) in length.
Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet and allow it to rise, covered, for an additional 30 minutes.
Using a sharp knife, make several diagonal slashes on the top of each baguette.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and the baguettes sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let the baguettes cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
