Triple-Seed Wheat Bread
1 cup plus 1 Tbsp. water 2 Tbsp. margarine, butter, or spread*, softened 2 Tbsp. sugar 1 1/2 tsp. salt 1 1/2 cups Gold Medal Better for Bread flour 1 1/2 to 2 cups Gold Medal whole wheat flour 1 1/2 tsp. poppy seed 1 1/2 tsp. sesame seed 1 tsp. fennel seed 2 tsp. bread machine yeast 1 egg white, beaten 1 tsp. poppy seed 1 tsp. sesame seed 1 tsp. fennel seed
Measure carefully, placing all ingredients except egg white and 1 tsp. each poppy seed, sesame seed, and fennel seed in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough/Manual cycle.
When cycle ends, remove dough from pan, using lightly floured hands. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface.
Grease a large cookie sheet.
Roll dough into rope, about 20 inches long. Place on cookie sheet. Curl each end of rope in the opposite direction to form a coiled "S" shape. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 to 40 minutes or until almost double.
Heat oven to 375F.
Brush egg white over dough; sprinkle with 1 tsp. each poppy seed, sesame seed, and fennel seed.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
*If using spread, use only stick that has more than 65% vegetable oil.
Be creative and use other seeds to top this bread. Try a tsp. of dill or celery seed for the poppy seed; or anise, cardamom, or caraway seed for the fennel seed.
