    Use the Kneading function to knead the dough until combined.

    Step 2 - Prove The Dough

    Place the dough into a ThermoServer and leave it in a warm spot for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

    TIP: If you don't have a ThermoServer, place the dough into a greased bowl and cover with a tea towel. Leave in a warm spot to rise.

    Step 3 - Bake

    Bake the bread in the oven for 40 minutes or until the top is golden and crunchy and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped in the centre.

    Expert Tips

    • Allow the dough to rise and almost double in size before baking.
    • The loaf is cooked with the top is golden and crunchy and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped in the centre.
    • Allow to cool for a few minutes in the baking tin before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

      Hi there
      Anyone tried this in a bread maker? Thinking I would just skip the proving step because the machine does it? And would I be able to substitute Any flour? Say buckwheat or spelt? Thank you

      Hi Lucy!

      I don't understand why but every time when I put the raised loaf in the oven, what I get back is a deflated and even swallowed in the middle of the loaf. Any idea why is this happening?

      I have tried at least with 4 different batches and every time the same thing. It raises well, it looks fine and when it comes out of the oven, it looks like a disaster. Once it even fell down on the heater bar.

      Please, let me know if you have any solution for when this happens.

      Kind Regards,

      Miriam

      Thank you for sharing this recipe. My friends and family tell me it's the best bread they've even eaten.
      I was just wondering if I can substitute some of the seeds, for example poppy seeds with sunflower seeds, also does the qualities of each seeds need to be exact or can I play with it as long as the total amount of seeds come to the same amount?
      Many thanks.

      I have done the five seed bread recipe 3 times now, and every-time the bread doesn't rise properly even after an hour. Cook it for an hour but still uncooked and sticky inside. I have tried in a bigger tin, with a smaller amount of dough but nothing makes a difference. What am I doing wrong? Tnanks for your help 🙂

        Hi Liz, that's very strange!!! There's a couple of things I can think of that might help. 1. Use a high quality flour (or better yet, Bakers flour). 2. Make sure your yeast is still active (just because it's in date, doesn't mean that it's active anymore). 3. I'd try increasing the temperature as it could be that your oven runs slightly cool. I hope these help!!!

      Looks, smells and tastes amazing! Only bad thing was that it wouldn't come out! Have had to pull it out chunk by chunk which is a shame. I oiled the tin and used the same tin as I would use for other recipes but need to work on my greasing I guess.

      I wonder where I'm going wrong? My Thermomix couldn't cope with this at all; the blades just wouldn't turn and the machine made a bad noise and got hot, so I turned it off. I then got out my trusty 50-year-old Kenwood with its dough hook and it worked fine. Lucky I hadn't chucked it when I got my TMX.

        I made this bread and it was delicious..
        I let it prove for a couple of hours and made sure I greased my tins with plenty of olive oil..
        It’s a seriously good bread. We are it with smoked salmon and horseradish creme fraiche
        Yum!
