Fastest Brown Bread EVER!!!!


This Pumpkin & Sunflower Seed Brown Bread will probably upset a lot of bakers out there, as it's made using just 3 ingredients, but I don't care because its just too easy and quick not to share. I'm using brown bread flour mix and water and seeds.................THATS IT!!!!!!!! Unbelievably quick I made it in two different ways. 

Firstly using milk and kneeding the dough and making a traditional round cake of bread. This was followed by my slightly less effort loaf using just flour and water. It's soooo easy I'll explain how I made both.


Ingredients (per loaf/cake)
  • 1 lb of brown bread flour
  • 1 pint of milk/water
  • 3 tbsp of pumpkin & sunflower seeds

Method (Traditional round cake)

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees
  2. Put the flour in a mixing bowl and add the milk (you may not need all the milk, just add until you feel you have a pliable dough).
  3. Add the seeds and mix through.
  4. Dust a worktop with flour, and start kneeding your dough out on the work surface.
  5. Shape into a round cake.
  6. Dust a baking sheet with flour, and place the cake onto the tray.
  7. Using a serrated knife, cut a deep cross in the cake.
  8. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack, covered with a clean tea towel.
Method (Bread Loaf)
  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees
  2. Put the flour in a mixing bowl and add the water and the seeds.
  3. Spray a 1lb loaf tin with cooking stray.
  4. Pour the dough in to the tin and bang on the worktop to ensure the dough sits evenly and this gets rid of air pockets.
  5. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack, covered with a clean tea towel.
