Whole Wheat Sunflower Seed Bread
- Ready In:
- 3hrs 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
3 loaves
ingredients
- 4 cups warm water
- 4 (1/4 ounce) packages dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 cup sunflower seeds (whole)
- 1⁄2 cup safflower oil or 1/2 cup any good vegetable oil
- 3⁄4 cup honey
- 9 cups approximately whole wheat flour
directions
- Dissolve yeast in warm water using a whisk.
- Add the rest of the ingredients--adding flour gradually till it forms a good kneading dough.
- Put on floured board and knead this for about 10-15 minutes.
- Put into a large oiled bowl.
- Rise about 1-2 hours.
- Punch down and rise again--about 1 hour or a little more.
- Divide into thirds and place in three greased bread pans.
- Rise again till doubled.
- 325 degrees for about 60 minutes.
- These will not be too brown on the bottom because of the lower temperature; if you want them browner, take them out of the pans and put them on a cookie sheet and bake another 8-10 minutes (I never have to do this because I like them the way they are).

<p>John 3:3 <br />Psalm 91 <br /><br />We are born-again Christians and love the Lord Jesus Christ with all our being.? We attend a small Christian and Missionary Alliance church in our town.? <a href=http://www.cmalliance.org>http://www.cmalliance.org</a><br /><br />My family consists of my husband who was a microbiologist but is now retired, two children (daughter and son), four grandchildren, and soon to be two great grandchildren, a girl and a boy. I homeschooled my oldest granddaughter up to a senior in high school. She is now 29 years old. My oldest grandson, who is now 25; my youngest grandson, age 20; my youngest granddaughter is in seventh-grade. Our oldest granddaughter blessed us with our first great granddaughter and soon to be great grandson.? She is the cutest little one.? I love them all. <br /><br />Hosta is my favorite plant, the only plant I own. I now have 123 varieties and they all have names. I add to them each year. I love to do cross stitch, paint, scrapbook, and rubber stamping. <br /><br />I have a rare genetic lung disase called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (Type ZZ) that most people have not even heard about. Most doctors may have heard of it but don't know an awful lot about it and so many times it goes misdiagnosed.
