Freshly baked bread for the birthday breakfast..

Yesterday was Vladimir’s birthday. He loves his birthday and takes it amiss, if he doesn’t get celebrated on a large scale.

Unfortunately the huge party had to get canceled, given that Vladimir was sick with the flu.

Nevertheless I wanted to celebrate him a little, in typical Swedish manner with birthday songs and breakfast in bed.

And so he understands, that I make an extra effort on his day, I wanted to make him a freshly baked bread.

For the stressed house wife ;) I found the recipe in the book Österreich kunlinarisch, Brot und Ausfstriche.

3 Minutes Bread

1 cube of yeast

1 Ibs lukewarm water

1.1 Ibs whole-grain flour

each 1.8 oz flex seeds

sesame seeds

sunflower seeds

2 teaspoons salt

2 tablespoons fruit vinegar

Instead of sunflower seeds I used 1.8 oz walnuts, a handful black olives and dried tomatoes. I brushed the dough with egg and sprinkled poppy seeds on it.

1.     Mix yeast with lukewarm water, add remaining ingredients und stir well.

2.     Fill dough into a greased form and put into cold oven right away.

3.     Bake in NOT preheated oven at 392F for approx. 1 hour.  

4.     Release bread from form and maybe post bake a little.
