Preparation

To enhance the flavor of our breads, we grind our grain into flour in our Vita-Mix dry container.  If you do the same thing, and the flour is warm, do not preheat the water, and add the yeast after about a cup of water has been added.  Otherwise, proceed as follows:

Add the ingredients in the order listed, with the exception of the raisins, sunflower seeds and water.  Place the dry yeast and flour in the mixing bowl or in the bread maker container.  Add the cinnamon, soya lecithin, Molasses, and about 1/2 of the Water.  Begin the kneading process and add additional water as necessary to keep proper consistency.   We have found that the amount of water necessary will vary from day to day.   After about 5 minutes of kneading work in about 1/2 of the raisins.  When they are uniformly dispersed, add the remaining raisins and knead into the dough. The total kneading time should be approximately 15-20 minutes.

Place a thin layer of sunflower seeds on a bread board or clean counter top.  Place the dough on the sunflower seeds and form into a cylinder about 1/2 m. (18") long.  Cut in twelve pieces and reform into into rolls making sure that the the entire surface, including the ends are coated with the Sesame Seeds.  Place on a baking sheet or stoneware pan coated with a little corn meal to keep the rolls from sticking.

Baking

Set the oven to warm setting �45�C (120�F), or the warming drawer of the oven on "low". Be careful that the oven does not overheat. Place the baking sheet or stoneware pan in the oven or warming drawer to raise the dough. When the dough is slightly over double the size, turn the heat up to 175-180�C (350-360�F). Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. When the crust is firm, but not crispy, the bread is done. Remove the rolls from the oven. Enjoy!
