Annie’s Woodfired Bread

This bread can be cooked in a regular oven but is yummiest out of an Earth friendly woodfired stove. Bread for the soul!

Ingredients

• 3 cups flour
• 1 cup mixed seeds (pepitas, rye, sunflowers, linseed)
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp bakers yeast
• 2 cups of warm, not hot, water.

Method

1. Mix dry ingredients together in a big bowl
2. Add water and mix thoroughly
3. Cover with plastic bag that you wash and reuse especially for this purpose
4. Leave to rise in warm place for at least 3 hours. Overnight is best
5. Add baking paper to the bottom of your bread tin and grease tin well, including lid if you have one.
6. Pour mixture into baking tin and leave to settle again for an hour
7. Meanwhile, preheat oven to about 200~c (stoke up your fire!)
8. Pop tin in oven and bake for 45 minutes. If your tin has a lid, bake with lid on and then remove lid and bake for and extra 10-15 minutes to brown the top.
9. Remove from oven, flip upside down onto wire rack or chopping board to cool before slicing.
10. Enjoy!
