Method

Bread Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, bread flour, whole wheat flour, and water. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  3. 3

    Ferment the Dough

    Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Allow to ferment at room temperature for about 4-6 hours, or until doubled in size.

  4. 4

    Shape the Dough

    After fermentation, gently deflate the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.

  5. 5

    Second Rise

    Cover the loaf with a damp cloth and let it rise again for about 1-2 hours, or until it has risen above the rim of the pan.

  6. 6

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) while the dough is rising.

  7. 7

    Bake the Bread

    Once risen, bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

  8. 8

    Cool the Bread

    Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Topping Preparation

  1. 9

    Prepare Sunflower Seed Topping

    In a small bowl, mix together sunflower seeds, olive oil, honey, and fresh herbs. Season with salt to taste.

  2. 10

    Toast the Bread

    Once the bread is completely cooled, slice it into thick slices and toast until golden brown.

  3. 11

    Assemble the Toast

    Spread the sunflower seed mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices.
