A Book Borrowed and Bread Baked

So I borrowed a cookbook from my Mother in law.
See...

And I have to say, there are a lot of yummies inside this book.  Seriously.  We've made a few things so far but today I'm going to talk about one specific item.  See in the background of the above picture?  Two (not so pretty) loaves of bread.  Who cares what it looks like though, it is delicious!
I made the Whole Wheat Sunflower Seed Herb bread.  Yum!  Well... to be honest, it's not 100% the recipe from the book because I was missing a few ingredients... yeah... but I followed it and my bread came out yummy.

I was lacking the agave nectar the the recipe called for so I used Brown Rice Syrup instead.  Specifically, this one:

I use this in my regular sandwich bread. 

The recipe also called for 1 cup of sunflower seeds, I had 3/4 of a cup.  So... I was a little short.  No biggie.

Then there were the herbs... celery seed?  I don't have that, we checked the other day.  Ah well... moving on.  Basil... check!  Thyme...check!  Dill weed... no...  Meh! Two out of four isn't bad!

Mix it up, wait an hour...

Punch it, divide it, roll it, wrap it, wait an hour...

Bake 40 minutes and done!


Of course I waited for it to cool before I cut it!  I do have a little bit of patience.  I waited 5 whole(ish) minutes.


Can't forget the buttery spread!  

I think this recipe is going to be a keeper.  I may change things a bit, add some other herbs, maybe a few other flours.  This one uses all Whole Wheat flour.  I think changing a bit would be good too.


Have a fabulous day <3
