Ingredients
3 cups King Arthur® White Whole Wheat Flour
1 tablespoon RED STAR® Quick∙Rise™ Yeast
1 ½ cups water
1 cup soy milk
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
½ cup mashed, ripe avocado
1 ¼ cups canned crispy French-fried onions, divided
1 (3-ounce) package, about 1 cup, sun dried tomatoes, diced (not oil-packed)
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons chia seed, divided
2 ¼ - 2 ½ cups King Arthur® Unbleached Bread Flour
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
Directions
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle, stir together white whole wheat flour and yeast. Heat water and soy milk to 120°F - 130°F; blend into flour until moistened. Beat at medium speed 3 minutes.
2. Switch to dough hook, and stir in honey, cilantro, avocado, ¾ cup onions, tomatoes, salt, cumin and 1 teaspoon chia seed. Gradually add enough bread flour to make a sticky batter. Combine at low speed 3 minutes.
3. Cover; let rise until doubled. Stir down batter with a wooden spoon. Divide batter between two greased 8 ½” x 4 ½” loaf pans.
4. In a small bowl, beat together egg and water. Brush on loaves. Sprinkle ¼ cup onions and ¼ teaspoon chia seed on each loaf. Preheat oven to 375°F.
5. Cover; let rise until dough reaches top of pan. Bake loaves 40 - 45 minutes. To prevent over-browning, loosely cover bread with aluminum foil after 18 minutes. The bread is done when golden and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 210° - 215°F.
6. Remove loaves from oven and after a few minutes, turn out onto a rack. Serve warm. Refrigerate any leftovers.
Yield: 2 loaves, 16 servings each.
