Ingredients

• 500g strong white bread flour
• 7g sachet easy-bake dried yeast (or 2 tsp Quick dried yeast)
• 1½ tsp salt
• 1 tablespoon of honey
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon allspice
• 1 tbsp sunflower seeds

Method

1. Mix the yeast, honey and yeast with the warm water. Let it rest for a couple of minutes to bubble

2. Mix the flour, butter seeds and salt in a large bowl. Add the warm yeast mixture  and mix until it comes together as a soft, not too sticky, dough. Gather it into a ball with your hands.

3. Put the dough onto a very lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 mins until it feels smooth and slightly springy to touch. Pop into an oiled bowl and cover with cling film. Leave for approx. 1 hr or until doubled in size.

4. Knock back the dough by gently kneading just 3-4 times.

5. Shape into individual room. Place on a prepared oven tray, dust with flour or just egg. Wash and sprinkle some seeds.

6. Cover and leave for 40-45 mins, or until about doubled in size.

7. Bake at 220C/200C fan/gas 7 for 30-35 mins or until golden. Remove and cool on a wire rack. If you tap the underneath of the loaf if should be firm and sound hollow.
