Five Seed bread - replaces Cape Seed Bread in EDC book

[farfallina]

Dear Thermomixer, thanks a lot for this wonderful bread recipe wherever you are
It is one of the best recipes
I made a small change and used fresh yeast instead of dry one

I made the five seed bread today but with 200g spelt flour and 300g bakers' flour, otherwise exactly as per the recipe.  It worked very well and tasted great. I can't compare it to the EDC version with 500g bakers' flour because I haven't made that. 

It's a 'heavy' bread though with all those seeds and very filling to eat.. I generally prefer a lighter loaf so am only likely to make this one occasionally.

Hi all,
Am wanting to make this bread for breakfast and was wondering how well it keeps - should I make it the night before or do I need to freeze it?  Was thinking that it would probably toast up nice if I made it the night before..........

Tam I love this bread and it makes lovely toast. When I make it I slice some for that day and the next days breakfast and freeze the rest in slices. Try Helene's Rustic bread too as it is her version of the 5 seed bread. The recipe is here.

If I make these as rolls how long would I cook it for? Bread experts pls help!

[courton]

Ps...where do you buy molasses ( Helene's recipe) and can I use a substitute? Advice pls!!!!

[judydawn]

If you can't get molasses, treacle can be used as a substitute courton.

Thanks JD !

My 5 seed bread is currently rising. I definitely had to add some four in as it was like cake mix, not at all like a dough... 

Wondering how I could make this recipe into rolls? Just no way as the mix is too sloppy. Ill settle for a loaf today but I  had wanted to make rolls and freeze them  Anyone had success?

[judydawn]

Everyone says the mixture is sloppy and needs to be cooked in a tin cooking-good-looking so I would be very surprised if anyone has successfully made rolls from this recipe.  I will be interested to see if anyone has though

Thanks Judy. Bit disapointed as i wanted a healthier option than just white or wholemeal. Do you know any recipes that are good for rolls that fit closer to the healthier category?

Try these, they are really nice. You can add seeds etc and I often put in some rye flour (about 100g) or wholemeal flour. Just take out 100g flour from the recipe and substitute the other.

Thanks Cookie,

Keen to try these. I am least adventurous when it comes to bread as I am not very confident!

They are easy to make as are all Isi's recipes.

I made this recently and just couldn't cope with it being so sloppy. I kneaded by hand and added flour until it resembled a soft dough. It was lovely.
