Seeded Artisan Bread Dough Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup (240ml) warm water
3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon (10g) sugar
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons (9g) salt
2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
2 tablespoons (20g) mixed seeds (such as flax, chia, sesame, or sunflower seeds)

Instructions

Activate the Yeast:

In a small bowl, combine warm water (not hot) with sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. This step ensures the yeast is active.

Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the foamy yeast mixture and olive oil, mixing until the dough starts to come together.

Incorporate the Seeds:
Add the mixed seeds to the dough. Knead by hand or with a mixer using a dough hook on medium speed for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.

First Rise:
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
