Ingredients

  • 360 ml 1.5 cups water
  • 3 tbsp skimmed milk powder
  • 3 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 5 tbsp dark brown soft sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 580 g 4 cups seeded bread flour
  • 3/4 tsp fast action yeast
  • 1/2 tsp vitamin C powder
  • 50 g hulled sunflower seeds in the seed tray

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to the bread maker tin in the order shown above - putting the sunflower seeds in the top tray if your machine has one. Otherwise retain the seeds until after the first rise.
  • Switch on the wholemeal loaf program (see notes below for guidance which program will be best on your machine).

Notes

This loaf was made in a Morphy Richards bread maker, your model may differ. The times used by my machine on its wholemeal loaf program are:
Knead 1 - 10 mins
Rise 1 - 20 mins
Knead 2 - 20 mins (when the seed tray empties)
Rise 2 - 35 mins
Rise 3 - 70 mins
Bake - 60 mins
Total time - 3 hours 40 mins
