About this recipe
Five seed bread Thermomix TM7 brings bakery-quality seeded loaves straight into your own kitchen. This rustic bread recipe combines sesame seeds, linseeds, sunflower seeds, pepitas and rolled oats with baker's flour and a touch of extra virgin olive oil for a moist crumb and gloriously crackly crust. Searching for easy homemade bread recipes with your all-in-one kitchen machine ends here: the TM7 grinds the linseeds fresh so their nutty oils stay vibrant, then kneads the dough to a silky, elastic consistency while you toast the toppings. It is the ideal breakfast bread or lunchtime loaf for weekend brunches, packed lunches and cheese boards. Each slice offers a satisfying crunch and a warm, grainy aroma that shop-bought loaves simply cannot match. If you love batch baking or meal prep for the week ahead, this five seed bread will quickly become your most requested bake.
Preparation tips
- Tip 1: Toast the sesame seeds, pepitas and sunflower seeds in a dry pan before adding them to the dough; this deepens the nutty flavour of your five seed bread considerably and adds extra crunch to every slice.
- Tip 2: After shaping, let the loaf prove until it has visibly puffed and springs back slowly when gently pressed with a fingertip; an under-proved five seed bread will turn out dense rather than airy and light.
- Tip 3: This bread freezes beautifully: slice it first, then freeze portions and pop slices straight into the toaster. Brushing the crust lightly with extra virgin olive oil after baking keeps the sunflower and pepita topping glossy and soft.
Recipe variations
- Variation 1: For a gluten-free five seed bread, replace the baker's flour with a gluten-free bread flour blend and add a teaspoon of psyllium husk; keep the sesame, linseed, sunflower and pepita mix unchanged for the same crunchy character.
- Variation 2: For a festive winter version, add a handful of cranberries and a pinch of ground cinnamon to the dough, then finish the crust with a honey wash so the oats and seeds caramelise into a golden, seasonal topping.
