Hazelnut Poppy Seed Bread - Trial 1

There were some issues with the bread but I am well on my way to making a pretty decent hazelnut poppy seed bread (which I remember from my Walla Walla days and then was reminded of when I went to visit relatives in Spokane). Problems: a bit too fluffy, needs a bit longer bake time, a few too many seeds and nuts. Good Things: fluffy, has the right flavor, looks good, tastes good.

Current recipe

3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup water
1 1/2 teas. salt
1 tbs yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup oil
6 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup oats
2 tbs ground flax
2 tbs poppy seed
2 tbs sesame seed
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
1 tbs sunflower seed
2 tbs chopped cashews

do whatever you normally do with bread dough... then mix in all the seeds and nuts at the very end.
bake at 400 °F for 20 minutes, take out of the oven and brush on egg white and sprinkle some additional poppy and sesame seeds, bake an additional 5 minutes.

• note you should bake longer, maybe 5 minutes by my guess and decrease the overall seed and nut count just a bit. makes a giant loaf so may need to overall decrease things too.

Week 10 Bake

After being gifted three beautiful summer squash (one green and two yellow), I decided to make the following and served it with rice. Great reviews from the whole clan.

Ingredients

vegetables
1.5 cups Brussels sprouts
3 small summer squash (a mix of yellow and green is nice)
2 small to medium tomatoes
topping
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper




Wash the Brussels sprouts and trim off the end. Chop into bite size pieces (quarters for medium sized sprouts). Steam for 6 minutes, do not overcook. Place into a large glass pan.

Wash the summer squash and trim off the ends. Chop into bite size pieces on the larger size. Steam for 4 minutes or so, you do not want them to become limp they should retain some moderate crunch. Place on top of the Brussels sprouts in the pan.

Chop the tomato into bite size pieces on the larger size. Place on top of the summer squash in the pan.

Mix the topping together and then sprinkle on the top

Place in the oven with the broiler on high for about 3 minutes, until browned on the top.

Serve warm with rice or as a side dish to whatever...
