RECIPES: 5-Seed Honey Bread from Shannon Princess

5-Seed Honey Bread Recipe from
Irish Hotel Barge Shannon Princess
 
Olivia Gibbons, co-owner and chef of the popular Irish Hotel Barge Shannon Princess, shares one of her recipe for 5-Seed Honey Bread. This would pair wonderfully with her Homemade Butter Recipe that you can find HERE. 
 
 Ingredients
  • 500g strong white bread flour
  • 7g sachet easy-bake dried yeast (or 2 tsp Quick dried yeast)
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • 1 Tbsp sunflower seeds
  • 1 Tbsp each of sesame,flax ,pumpkin and poppy seeds, plus extra for sprinkling
 
Method
 
  1. Mix the 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 minutes until it feels smooth and slightly springy to touch. Pop into an oiled bowl and cover with cling film. Leave for approximately 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Knock back the dough by gently kneading just 3-4 times.
  5. Shape into individual loaf. 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.
 
Enjoy!
