Moroccan Tagine Seed Bread

[gazza1960]

The Tagine was crying out for use,so bread making got the thumbs up plus it would be a fun venture.

INGREDIENTS

10oz White Bread Flour
2oz Maize Meal
1tsp salt
20grms Fresh Yeast
4fl oz luke warm water
4fl oz Luke warm milk
1tbsp Pumpkin Seeds
1tbsp Sesame Seeds
1tsp Sunflower Seeds

Add flours and salt together and make a well in centre.

Cream yeast with warm water and milk and let stand for 10 mins.

Pour Yeast mixture into flour and bind together,then work dough on floured board for 10 mins.

Place in oiled bowl and cling film cover for 1 hour in warm room.



Knock back on board and flatten out,then add Mixed Seeds.



Fold Seeds into dough and form a ball,place back in oiled bowl for further
15 mins.

Meanwhile.....................

The clay Tagine likes an even temp gradually so this recipe calls for
poping it in the oven cold and heating to 180 degrees(fan oven)

Heat for 15 mins to working temp.

REMOVE TAGINE FROM OVEN WITH OVEN GLOVES AS ITS BLUUDY HOT.

Remove lid and oil inside of Tagine base,then add dough mix to Tagine base.


(you add brush the loaf with water and sprinkle further mixed seeds at this stage if you wish)

Place lid on Tagine and put in centre of oven for 20 mins.


Remove Lid from Tagine and place back in oven for further 10 mins to crisp loaf top.


Finished loaf should be crisp all over ,but if base is still slightly soft turn bread over and put back in oven for a further 5 mins.


Cool your Rubgy shaped Loaf on wire rack.


The Tagine gives a lovely crisp finish,and the seeds make for a nice crunch within the slices.

Enjoy.

I wonder if that works the same way a bread cloche Gazza. I often drool at your piccies being gluten free ::).

Untill you mentioned it Grannyjanny I had never heard of one but yes.....I guess it does....thankx for the heads up though....my monies on the Tagine being the original.

It generates a lovely crisp crust without me having to  move in and out trays of water to create steam.

What a brilliant idea - that's where I'm going to bake my sourdough loaf.
