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.
