Beautiful looking loaf CP  :)

Can anyone tell me what Wattle seeds taste like?  Do they have a "nutty" taste?
I really want to make this bread, but my DH has a nut allergy (or is that fear?) and if anything smells or tastes like nuts (even if it's not nuts) he will refuse to eat it.

Thanks GF  :)
Interesting reading.  I think I know where I can buy some Wattleseeds close to where I live, so I might give it a go and see what he thinks.
Cheers Katie

Thank you for your guidance, Chookie.

My first try of Pumpkin and Wattleseed bread tasted rather yummy tonight.

Must try harder in following all the finer points of your method in future, though.  (I mucked up a few steps, but it still turned out.)

I made this today Chookie and was very pleased with it.  I added 60g sun-dried tomatoes and thought I was in trouble when the mixture was quite moist. Wasn't sure just how much water to add but carried on regardless and being such a nice day here, I left it in the bathroom with the door shut which was the warmest place in the house.  It rose beautifully in 30 minutes for both rises in there and this is the resulting loaf.   

Only thing I will add next time - 1 maybe 2 teaspoons salt.  Just felt there was something missing so sprinkled salt over the butter on the bread and yes, that is what I needed.

Thanks for this one Chookie, something different and it is really lovely.

Thanks for the wattle seeds Katie - 1 packet was enough so I can use the other packet another time.

Yes I was going to try that too Chookie.  If Ral likes it then I'm sure I will too.

I've got the Wattleseed so now I must get my act into gear and make this.
