Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g all-purpose flour
- 100 g whole wheat flour
- 7 g instant yeast
- 10 g sea salt
- 350 ml warm water
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons flaxseeds
- 3 tablespoons sunflower seeds
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon optional honey
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, yeast, and sea salt.
Gradually pour in the warm water and olive oil into the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes, or until it's smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, mix chia seeds, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, black sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds in a separate bowl.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release excess air and knead in the seed mixture until evenly distributed.
Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape each into a baguette approximately 30 cm long.
Place the baguettes onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover them loosely with a damp cloth and let them rest for another 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
Using a sharp knife, make three diagonal slashes on the top of each baguette, allowing them to expand properly during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
