About this recipe
Seedy Wholemeal Bread Thermomix TM7 recipes bring the aroma of an artisan bakery straight into your kitchen. This wholesome loaf pairs nutty wholemeal flour with crunchy sesame seeds and freshly ground linseeds, lightly sweetened with honey for a balanced, earthy flavour. Searching for a reliable bread recipe for your all-in-one kitchen machine? This one delivers. The TM7 grinds the linseeds moments before kneading, releasing oils and aroma that pre-ground seeds simply cannot match, then works the buttery dough into a smooth, elastic ball without any manual effort. The result is a moist crumb with a satisfying seed crunch and a crisp golden crust. Serve it warm at weekend breakfast, pack slices into lunchboxes, or toast it under cheese for a hearty snack. It is the kind of bread that fills the house with comfort and disappears within a day.
Preparation tips
- Toast the sesame seeds and linseeds briefly in a dry pan before adding them to the dough; this deepens their nutty flavour and adds extra crunch to every slice of your wholemeal loaf.
- For a lighter crumb, let the shaped loaf prove in a warm, draught-free spot until it has visibly puffed up before baking; wholemeal flour benefits from a generous second rise.
- Store the cooled bread in a linen bag or wrapped in a tea towel rather than plastic, so the crust stays crisp; slices also freeze beautifully for up to two months.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the butter with an equal amount of olive oil or plant-based margarine. The honey and seeds keep their flavour intact, and the wholemeal crumb stays just as tender and moist.
- Festive version: add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and a handful of sunflower and pumpkin seeds to the mix, then brush the crust with honey after baking for a glossy, seasonal loaf worthy of any holiday table.
