The entire house smells wonderful and I could barely wait 10 minutes for it to cool enough to turn out of the pan so I could cut a piece. YUM!
Sunflower Whole Wheat Quick Bread
Source: Tate's Bake Shop Cookbook
"This very simple quick bread is delicious with soups or an easy Sunday supper. This bread compliments assorted cheeses at dinner or butter and jam for breakfast."
2 C stone ground whole wheat flour
1 1/2 C unbleached flour
1/2 C wheat germ
1/4 C sugar
1/4 C packed dark or light brown sugar
1 t salt
4 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1 c roasted sunflower seeds, unsalted
1 1/2 C buttermilk
2 large eggs
4 T salted butter, melted
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan.
Combine the flours, wheat germ, sugars, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Stir in sunflower seeds.
In a small bowl combine the butterminlk, eggs, and melted butter, and beat them until they are combined.
Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and stir them till they are just combined.
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the loaf is brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
Notes: Having MANY bad experiences with breads, I always line the bottom of my loaf pan with parchment. Bread slips out perfectly every time.
All my butter is unsalted so that is what I used. I figured the 1 t of salt was plenty.
Batter is very thick so don't be suprised.
My loaf was done in 50 minutes. I can imagine that a wonderful dose of honey butter would be just delicious on this bread.
