Baguettes with Nori and Sunflower seeds.
This healthy bread has the goodness of Seaweed and Sunflower Seeds. In Carbohydrate value, one slice has the same content as a slice of commercially produced white bread.
Place a dish with water in bottom of oven. Set oven to 210 C
300g. Bread Flour,( I used Laucke White Mix)
150g. Plain Flour (all purpose Flour)
2 teaspoons of instant yeast
290 mls. of warm water
! teaspoon of both sugar and salt.( I didn't add these as the Laucke Flour has these added)
85g. Sunflower seeds
Nori (Seaweed)
Combine Flours, yeast, water in TMX bowl and knead for 2 mins.
Add 1/2 Sunflower seeds, and salt and sugar if using. Knead for 1 min.
Leave in bowl in warm place until doubled. (Ideal temp. between 20/25 C )
Turn out onto Silmat and divide in two.
With rolling pin, roll to the size of a Nori sheet.
Roll up like a Swiss Roll, pinch seam and place seam underneath.
Spray with water and sprinkle 1/2 remaining seeds along roll.
Place in Baguette tin, and do the same with other 1/2 of dough.
Cover with plastic and place in warm spot until doubled.
Bake in preheated oven, 210 for 35 minutes. or until brown.
Cool on wire rack. Cut when cold.
This bread was inspired by a recipe from "a cookbook for Diabetics" by Daniel Yeo and Magdalin Cheong
