Sunbeam breadmaker recipe modification multigrain oats sunflower bread

There are a couple of bread mixes out there that yield beautiful nutritious loaves of bread. I am, though, experimenting as much as I can for an even more nutritious loaf of bread – because it’s such a staple.


Here’s a tried-and-tested recipe modification for a nutritious loaf of bread. I bake with the Sunbeam ‘Quantum SmartBake’ bread-maker, but this recipe can also work for baking the conventional way.

What you need:
400ml of room-temperature water
A pack of Tip Top Kitchen Collection- Grain Bread Mix (500g)
4 1/2 tablespoons of regular oatmeal
1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds
2 teaspoons of yeast

What to do:
1…Follow the instructions for your bread-maker booklet – particularly the order of ingredients.
2…BEFORE the yeast, add the oatmeal then the sunflower seeds.
3…Bake as usual following the instructions from your bread-maker booklet.

Tips…
…use the darkest crust setting.
…don’t use the entire sachet of yeast from the Tip Top pack as it actually measures 2 1/2 teaspoons of yeast (and not the required 2 teaspoons).
...you can omit the sunflower seeds if you prefer – it won't affect the outcome of the bread.

What’s underneath that crown?

Puff pastry crowns are typically made over bowls of soup. Golden brown and glistening, it entices you to dig through that pastry to get to the soup. I suppose it makes having a bowl of soup more exciting and more interesting. It’s also probably an alternative to serving bread with the soup, as you can just break up the pastry into the soup.

I hate spring onions, onions…the onion-bulb family –period-. It really revolts me and gives me a headache. However, I seem to be OK with garlic chives if it’s cooked – maybe because they're the smallest species in the onion family (and isn’t as strong tasting and smelling

Are you creamy or crunchy?

It's smooth and creamy versus rough/crunchy and creamy. Both taste as good but possibly only one is your preferred – I guess it depends on what you do with it

Crispy crackling roast porkloin chinese recipe siewyook


Having lived in Asia, I’ve been (blessedly) exposed to a variety of very good Asian food. The barbecue/roast meat dishes are among some of the food that I remember – not only for its very graphic display in restaurant-deli windows but also the aromas of the spices used in the roasting

pasta osso-busco wine italian recipe shanks

I love my slow-cooker – as much as I love my breadmaker. It’s used regularly no matter what season it is because it’s such a fantastic feeling to have dinner ready by the time I am home.
