Title: Roast Pumpkin and Wattle Seed Bread from Margaret River.
Post by: achookwoman on September 04, 2012, 09:00:49 am
Everyone raved about the Pumpkin and Wattle Seed bread that we enjoyed with our Bush Tucker lunch while on our bus tour,  in WA.
I think that this is pretty close to the texture and taste.  Hope you enjoy it. 

200g of cold or warm roasted Pumpkin, ( choose a bright orange pumpkin)
300/350 g warm water, this depends on the amount of moisture in pumpkin.
3 dessertspoons of ground Wattle Seeds
550 of Bakers ( bread) flour
1 teaspoon of both ground coriander and cumin
1/2 teaspoon of coarsely ground black pepper
2 1/2 teaspoons of dry yeast
Pumpkin and Nigella seeds ( black cumin ) for crust.

Place pumpkin and 50 g of water and blend on speed 7 for 5 seconds,  scrape down.
Add all dry ingredients and 1/2 remaining water.
Knead for 4 minutes,  adding more water to make a soft dough.
Rise in bowl , in warm place,  until it fills the bowl.
Sit back on base and Knead for 2 more minutes.
Tip out onto floured silmat and shape free form or place in lined tin..
Spray with water, slash top and scatter with seeds.
Cover with plastic and let rise to at least double.
Bake in oven, 200/220 o. C. , with bowl of water in bottom.  30 mins., turning 1/2 way through.Remove from tin and lay on side!  Bake a further 10 mins.
Cool on rack

The dough will be a bit sticky because of the pumpkin. 
If you can't buy the Wattle seeds,  make it without but increase the pepper to 1 teaspoon.

How true CP. ;D ;D ;D
I think Andrew Fielke sells it on line.
Title: Re: Roast Pumpkin and Wattle Seed Bread from Margaret River.
Post by: cecilia on September 05, 2012, 02:25:01 am
Yes, Chookie - http://www.andrewfielke.com/store/ - but beware when you get to the checkout.  I ordered two items which added up to $19.50 but there is a mistake on their website and it told me the postage was $45, when in fact it was $9.

So if the same happens to others, phone 08 7225 0424 and they will sort out the ordering.

Got a pkt from a local shop. They cost about $6 ea. I would be happy to post a pkt anywhere in Australia as long as its standard postage. Think they have about 3 left after which this offer will expire  ;D

Chookie I seem to remember the tour guide (can't remember his name) saying it was pumpkin, sun-dried tomato and wattle seed bread.  Am I remembering this wrong?
Title: Re: Roast Pumpkin and Wattle Seed Bread from Margaret River.
Post by: Tenina on September 05, 2012, 02:55:09 pm
I knew you would beat me to it Chookie! hahaha, I have been swamped…actually roasted some pumpkin to do it whilst you were still here living it up, but never got past that point!

Looks fabulous…thanks

DD,  think you are right,  forgot about the Sun Dried Tomatoes.  If you wish to use them ,  put a few, about a dessertspoon full in with the pumpkin at the beginning.  I probably didn't miss them as the pumpkin I used was particually tasty.

It's deeeeelishous. Up there with the nicest. I added 60g sundried tomatoes, slashed the top just before putting in the oven and poked in grated cheese and then sprinkled pepitas and sunflower seeds(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/09/vu2emuzy.jpg)

Title: Re: Roast Pumpkin and Wattle Seed Bread from Margaret River.
Post by: Katiej on September 10, 2012, 11:10:42 am
Beautiful looking loaf CP  :)

Can anyone tell me what Wattle seeds taste like?  Do they have a "nutty" taste?
I really want to make this bread, but my DH has a nut allergy (or is that fear?) and if anything smells or tastes like nuts (even if it's not nuts) he will refuse to eat it.
Title: Re: Roast Pumpkin and Wattle Seed Bread from Margaret River.
Post by: goldfish on September 10, 2012, 11:51:13 am
KatieJ - this info might help . . http://tasteaustralia.biz/bushfood/wattleseed/

Can understand your DH's wariness if he's allergic to nuts . . .I would be ,too!!

Thanks GF  :)
Interesting reading.  I think I know where I can buy some Wattleseeds close to where I live, so I might give it a go and see what he thinks.
Cheers Katie

Thank you for your guidance, Chookie.

My first try of Pumpkin and Wattleseed bread tasted rather yummy tonight.

Must try harder in following all the finer points of your method in future, though.  (I mucked up a few steps, but it still turned out.)

Post by: judydawn on October 04, 2012, 07:29:09 am
I made this today Chookie and was very pleased with it.  I added 60g sun-dried tomatoes and thought I was in trouble when the mixture was quite moist. Wasn't sure just how much water to add but carried on regardless and being such a nice day here, I left it in the bathroom with the door shut which was the warmest place in the house.  It rose beautifully in 30 minutes for both rises in there and this is the resulting loaf.   

Only thing I will add next time - 1 maybe 2 teaspoons salt.  Just felt there was something missing so sprinkled salt over the butter on the bread and yes, that is what I needed.

Thanks for this one Chookie, something different and it is really lovely.

Thanks for the wattle seeds Katie - 1 packet was enough so I can use the other packet another time.

Try 1 tablespoon of wattleseeds in lieu of vanilla essence in the EDC ice cream recipe cookie. It is simply divine.

No way chookie, you can't take away from the fact that this bread is so scrumptious. It's one of my absolute favourites  :-*
Title: Re: Roast Pumpkin and Wattle Seed Bread from Margaret River.
Post by: JulieO on April 06, 2016, 09:23:44 am
When I saw this bread mentioned this morning in one of the threads, I decided to give it a try to serve with a stew that I was making today.  I decided to make into rolls instead of a loaf so I could freeze easily.  It made 10 dinner sized rolls.

I roasted what I thought would be enough raw pumpkin (300g) but once cooked it only weighed 136g  :-)) so I added enough sun dried toms (ones that aren't marinated in oil or vinegar) to make up to the 200g.

I went to get the rest of the ingredients out to discover what I though were wattle seeds were in fact lemon myrtle seeds  :o so I used the extra ground pepper like Chookie suggested.

I followed the recipe except where you do the kneading after the first proving, I added some grated tasty cheese to knead into the dough.  I weighed it and divided into 10 balls and put on a tray.
After the second rise I baked for about 15 mins, then I turned them onto the rack so the bottom could get more crunchy and baked a further 5-6 mins.

I had one as soon as out the oven and I loved it I must admit.  I had another a bit later with my stew and liked it just as much.

I did brush the tops with melted butter and put on some pumpkin seeds and Nigella seeds, but I found they fell off onto the tray when I moved them so I wouldn't bother next time. (I did enjoy picking at the roasted pumpkin seeds though so they didn't go to waste)  :D

I have now ordered some wattle seeds and when they arrive I will make another batch of these for sure.  Fantastic recipe Chookie.  ;D

They look very tasty Julie. Chookie was so clever with this bread. As she tasted it, she and Tenina discussed what was in it and then the clever Chookie recreated it.

Thank you girls and Thank you to Chookie for making up this great recipe (thanks Cookie for pointing that out).  I very rarely eat bread these days so was so thrilled with the flavour of these and I really like having the convenience of having rolls in the freezer for those times.   Once I've made them with the wattle seeds I will report back on what I thought of them.  :D
