The inspiration for this bread came from the November , English Country Living. If you are looking for a classy bread to impress visitors, this is the one. Not only is delicious but also easy and relative quick. Chestnut flour can be bought from a health food store and keeps well. It also contains very little fat.
200 g Chestnut flour
300 g White bread flour or Wholemeal bread flour. ( I used Laucke Crusty white Mix ) If using plain bread flour , add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar.
3 teaspoons of dry yeast.
400 g of warm water
1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Set oven at 200 o C
Place all ingredients in TMX and knead for 4 minutes. While kneading, look in hole in lid and if mix is very soft and not kneading but just going around, add another 1/2 cup of flour.
Leave in TMX bowl or tip into another bowl., cover and allow to double. It was 25 o and doubled in 30 minutes.
Tip on to well floured silmat and knead a few turns with hands.
Form into a shape that will fit into the lined baking tin. ( I used a cast iron pot with lid )
Cut 4 slashes across dough.
Spray with water and sprinkle with seeds of choice.
Place in warm place to double.
Place in oven and bake with lid on for 30 mins turning 1/2 way through
Remove lid and bake for20 mins.
Test to see that it is baked through by inserting a thermometer, it should reach 200 o F very quickly. If not cooked , remove from tin and place on rungs in oven for 10 mins.
This was very nice served with Creamed Cheese

This bread looks lovely Bess. Didn't know you could get chestnut flour here so will have to keep an eye open when I visit the health food shop next.
