If you are using hot water please remember to let the water temperature come down to room temperature before using it in the bread machine as hot water will destroy your yeast. I recommend using hot water to speed things up here, but you can also soak your seeds in cold water overnight. The first step in this recipe, and in others that use chia seeds is soaking the seeds. This was the basic idea behind using them in a bread recipe. When soaked, these seeds produce a thick, gelatinous mass which can be used as a binder. If you have not used chia seeds before, they are often used to make vegan puddings, or as a substitute for eggs in vegan baking. I decided to try to make a rustic bread with chia seeds for added nutritional touch and a bit of texture. (To be fair, the reason for not having luck with gluten-free breads is that my bread machine does not have a gluten-free setting as some fancier machine do, and gluten-free dough does require a totally different treatment and timing.)īack to the chia seed seed bread. However, it is consistent and although it did not produce a good gluten-free loaf I did come close. The model I have is a very basis one, without too many fancy bells and whistles. It’s a specialized kitchen gadget that I use 5-6 times a year, which may not seem like much but it is worth it! Who has the time to baby sit the dough? Not me! That’s why I bought a bread machine. This sounds almost too good to be true, and in practice it really is. Watching the dough rise, pounding the dough down, letting the house fill with the aroma of freshly baked bread…, and then biting into a fresh, crusty loaf. Bread making is part science, part art, and part therapy. When it comes to comfort food, I think we can all agree that there are not many things that can compete with freshly baked bread.
