  • Thank you! Really love these myself too :)

    Soft whole wheat poppy-seed buns

    Ingredients

    • 250gr white flour
    • 250gr whole wheat flour
    • 10gr salt
    • 10gr dry active yeast
    • 50gr butter
    • 25gr sugar
    • 300ml whole milk
    
    • Egg 
    • 1 tbsp milk
    • Sesame seeds/poppy seeds/whatever seeds
    
    
    
    1. Mix all the ingredients, except the butter, and knead until smooth.
    2. Add the butter little by little and knead until completely absorbed.
    3. Form the dough into a tight ball and let it rest covered for 30 minutes.
    4. Divide the dough into 12 pieces. Beat out all the air and shape into tight balls. Place all on a baking sheet with enough space between them to double in size. 
    5. Leave to rise for 80 minutes in a damp place, or completely covered. Or about 40 minutes in a proofing oven at 40c.
    6. Preheat the oven to 250c. 
    7. Gently brush the top of the dough with the egg mixture. You can sprinkle seeds of your choice over this, such as sesame seeds or poppy seeds. 
    8. Place the baking sheet in the oven on the bottom rack and lower the temperature to 230c. Bake for 12 minutes until golden brown. 
    9. Let rest for at least 10 minutes. These taste best when they're still slightly warm.
    







  • It’s a no knead bread, so a bit similar. Haven’t gotten the hang of sourdoughs yet, but planning on changing that!

    Here’s the recipe for this bread:

    Ingredients

    • 250gr flour
    • 250 g wholemeal flour
    • 300ml water
    • 10 grams of salt
    • 1gr dry active yeast
    

    1gr dry active yeast

    1. Combine flour, flour, salt and yeast in a large bowl and mix well.
    2. Add water and mix until all the liquid has been absorbed and there are no lumps left.
    3. Cover the bowl and leave to ferment for 12 hours
    4. Sprinkle flour on the counter and scrape the dough out of the bowl. Fold the dough until a tight ball comes together.
    5. Place the dough on baking paper and let it rise for an hour in a basket/small oven dish.
    6. Place a cast iron pan with a lid in the oven and heat to 250c/480f
    7. Remove the pan from the oven and carefully place the dough in the pan. Using a razor/lame, cut a vertical slit about 1cm deep into the dough.
    8. Put the lid back and bake at 250c/480f for 25 minutes
    9. Remove the lid from the pan and bake at 180c/350f until the bread has the desired color (10 minutes in my case)
    10. Let the bread cool on a cooling rack for at least an hour before slicing.
