Cumin Flavourded White Bread Recipe

Homemade Cumin Flavoured White Bread

Recipe by Jackie Cameron

On a healthier note, an avocado guacamole served with crudités (raw vegetables cut into bite-size strips) is light and satisfying. Nearby, place slices of old-style homemade cumin flavoured white bread and excellent-quality balsamic vinegar and olive oil. This will allow guests to drizzle vinegar and oil on the bread and, for a more substantial portion, finish with a spread of guacamole.

Yields : 1 loaf

Ingredients  :

1 t Dried Yeast

420ml Warm Water

45 ml Olive Oil

200g Semolina Flour

400g White Bread Flour
