INGREDIENTS:
1 package Extra White Gold bread flour blend
1 Tablespoon dry yeast
2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 egg or an egg substitute
1 cup lukewarm water
3- 4 Tablespoons vegetable oil or extra virgin olive oil
1/2 Tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, optional
PREPARATIONS:
- In a mixer bowl, place bread flour blend, yeast and sugar .Mix for 2 minutes on a low speed. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, water and oil; add to the mixer bowl. Knead until dough is formed. Add salt and continue kneading for 4-6 minutes until dough is shiny and sticky. If the dough tough, add about 2-3 tablespoons water.
- Spray oil on top of the dough, so the dough doesn’t dry. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, dry place, for 60 to 90 minutes or until dough is double in size.
- Transfer dough to a lined baking sheet. Punch the dough to get air out. Grease your hands and shape dough into 1 or 2 loaves.
- Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise again for 30 more minutes.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Place a dish filled with boiling water at the bottom of the oven. Sprinkle with seeds and bake for 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F and continue baking for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool on a rack. The bread will keep fresh in an airtight container for 24 hours, or slice and freeze.
HAPPY BAKING!

I Love this bread so much! The texture is wonderful!
I add a little bit more water than 1 cup. I let the dough chill in the fridge for 4-6 hours and then transfer it to a bread loaf for a second quick rise.

I make this bread almost every week. I use 1 cup lukewarm water and if the dough appears to be dry, I add 4 tablespoons of water. Great recipe, lovely texture!

On the package and in this recipe you call for 4 tablespoons of oil, but in your video, you only use one. I tried making this with the 4 Tbsp and ended up with dough that was way too wet and sticky. I’m guessing the correct amount of oil is 1 Tbsp? Please clarify and correct if needed. Thanks!
