When it comes to handmade bread, there’s nothing quite satisfying about taking a freshly cooked loaf out of the oven. Today, I’m excited to present a dish that will not only add a pleasant perfume to your home, but it will also provide a powerful nutritional punch. Imagine a bread that is so packed with nuts and seeds that it crunches with health benefits with every mouthful. This jar bread loaded with seeds is a feast for the body as well as a joy for the senses.
Gather Your Ingredients:
- 100 grams of sunflower seeds
- 50 grams of pumpkin seeds
- 50 grams of sesame seeds
- 30 grams of walnuts, lightly chopped
- 30 grams of hazelnuts
- 60 grams of flaxseed
- 20 grams of chia seeds
- 20 grams of psyllium husk
- 200 grams of rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 can (380g) of white beans, drained and rinsed
- 170ml water
- 30ml vegetable oil, plus extra for greasing
Let’s Bake a Loaf: Mix the Dry Ingredients: Put all the seeds, nuts, oats, and salt in a big basin. To make sure everything is distributed equally, give it a vigorous stir. Blend the Beans: Puree the white beans with water and vegetable oil in a blender until they are smooth. The addition of moisture and the binding power of this mixture will give your bread a beautiful texture.
Mix and Get Ready: Transfer the liquid blend into the bowl containing the dry components. Mix thoroughly until fully incorporated. Although thick, the batter will be workable. Prepare Your Jars: Apply a small amount of oil to the interior of wide-neck jars. After the bread is baked, this will make it easier to remove. Fill the jars to about two thirds full with batter using a spoon.
Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 200°C. After the filled jars have sat for about 20 minutes, place them in the oven. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the tops are brown. Savor Your Work: Allow the bread to cool down after baking before attempting to take it out of the jars. A broad neck is essential for effortless extraction; but, if your bread is obstinate, simply scrape a knife along the sides to loosen it.
A Recipe You Should Share: More than just a baking endeavor, this seed-studded jar bread is an exploration of creating delicious, healthful food. Every component, including the fiber-rich seeds and oats and the heart-healthy lipids in the nuts, has been selected for its health advantages. This bread is impressive whether you consume it toasted with a smear of avocado or as a crispy side to your soup. Thank you for joining me in this baking adventure. Remember, the joy of cooking comes not just from the delicious results but from the love and care you put into each step. Enjoy your wholesome creation, and happy baking!
