Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the flours, salt and yeast. Add the starter, molasses and lukewarm water.
- Knead for 10 minutes by hand or with a stand mixer until you have a supple, well-combined dough.
- Mix in the seeds, then cover and let it rise for 2 hours at room temperature.
- Shape a round or long loaf on a floured surface, place it in a tin or on a baking sheet, then let it rise for another hour.
- Sprinkle with seeds and make a few cuts on top with a knife.
- Bake at 230 °C for 10 minutes, then lower to 200 °C and continue for 40 minutes, until the loaf sounds hollow. Let it cool completely before slicing.
Variations and tips
Using what you have. If you don't have a starter, use 5 g of extra yeast and let it rise a little longer.
