Discover the health benefits of our Rustic Turmeric and Poppy Seed Swirl Bread, a vibrant homemade loaf that's as nutritious as it is delicious.
Ingredients
- • warm water: 1 1/4 cups
- • active dry yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
- • honey: 2 tablespoons
- • whole wheat flour: 2 cups
- • all-purpose flour: 1 cup
- • turmeric powder: 1 tablespoon
- • poppy seeds: 3 tablespoons
- • sea salt: 1 teaspoon
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- 1 In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and honey. Stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.
- 2 In another bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, turmeric powder, poppy seeds, and sea salt. Mix well to ensure the turmeric and poppy seeds are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- 3 Gradually add the dry ingredients to the yeast mixture, stirring continuously. Add the olive oil and mix until the dough begins to come together. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- 4 Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- 5 Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface. Roll the dough into a log and place it in a lightly greased loaf pan. Cover and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- 6 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough has risen again, bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
- 7 Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Rustic Turmeric and Poppy Seed Swirl Bread is delicious on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with a variety of toppings. Try it with a spread of avocado and a sprinkle of salt for a nutritious breakfast. It also complements a hearty vegetable soup or fresh salad for a balanced meal. For a more indulgent option, serve slices with a dollop of ricotta cheese and a drizzle of honey. Complement your meal with a cup of herbal tea or a refreshing glass of lemon-infused water to enhance the bread's vibrant flavors.
Storage Tips
To maintain the freshness and nutritional value of your bread, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, slice and freeze the bread. When needed, thaw slices at room temperature or gently warm them in the oven for a freshly-baked taste.
