Homemade Bread

I enjoy making my own bread so I know exactly what is in it.  There is NO sugar, salt or preservatives in my bread and it’s the tastiest and healthiest bread I’ve ever eaten.

I do cheat and use my bread maker machine, as this method fits into my lifestyle the best.

Here’s the recipe I use.

Ingredients

325ml warm water

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

3 Cups Wholemeal plain flour

3 Tablespoons Sunflower seeds

3 Tablespoons Sesame seeds

3 Tablespoons Whole linseeds

¾ Teaspoon Bread improver

2 Teaspoons Yeast

I just put the water and oil into the bread machine then add the flour, seeds, bread improver and yeast.  It takes around 3 hours in my bread machine.  Once the bread is cooked I allow it to cool for a few hours or overnight, then I slice it with an electric knife to get thinner slices.  I wrap 2 slices together in cling wrap and then place the bread in the freezer.  Each morning I just toast 2 slices and spread with natural peanut butter that I buy from our Local Health Food Store.  Enjoy!
