My Deaf Smith Country Coodbook
From the Deaf Smith Country Cookbook, this Sunflower Bread is my favourite whole wheat bread recipe ever.
It’s softer and fluffier than the Phyllis’ Bread that we also published yesterday and I love the sunflower seeds in the flavour. Sesame seeds are a nice addition as well.
You’ll notice that this recipe calls for milk, as does the Purity Flour White Bread, in both cases, I often use the milk to make ricotta, and then use the whey from the cheese making for the bread.
