Seeded Artisan Bread Dough Recipe

This crusty bread is filled with a mix of seeds, giving it a nutty, earthy flavor and an irresistible texture. It’s perfect as a standalone snack, for sandwiches, or alongside soups and salads.

Ingredients

(Makes 1 large loaf or 2 smaller loaves)

• 3 ½ cups (420g) all-purpose or bread flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
• 1 ½ cups (360ml) warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
• 3 tablespoons mixed seeds (e.g., sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, or pumpkin seeds)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for a softer crust)
• Extra seeds for topping (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.
2. Stir in the warm water and mix until a shaggy dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it’s manageable.
3. Add the seeds and olive oil (if using), and knead gently in the bowl to combine.

Step 2: Knead and Rest
