Panini with herbs and seeds


Hi! these panini have been a staple for a while and so soft and healthy we love them, no mixer required, easy to make just a few stirs and a light kneading your done! Today we are looking for not just bread but if we want a more healthy , this recipe uses a handful sunflower seeds, flax seed, pumpkins seeds,chia seeds,

Sunflower,pumpkins,chai,flax seed seeds 
also you can use dried herbs such as rosemary, chives, oregano. Now i know today alot of people cannot do seeds or you like certain types of flour or herbs only just add the flour or seeds and herbs you like more of one or another, same with the herbs, add to your liking that's why i love this recipe they really never come out the same i love just adding things, yes you can make them simply with out the herbs but.... they are a great panini with! this recipe makes about 12 so get your apron on and lets bake !

 Ingredients: 


1 cup of warm water 
1 tbs.sugar 
12 gr. of fresh yeast or 2 tsp active dry yeast 

1 tsp.salt 
2 tbs. dried rosemary, dried oregano,dried chives,seeds sunflower, pumpkin, chia, flax seed 
2 tbs. olive oil 
2 cups of Manitoba flour or "O" type 
some flour for kneading 


Mix your first three ingredients and let sit for 10 min. 

Make a well in your bowl and add the rest of ingredients salt,seeds mix,OVOO,flour and your liquid 
that you have let set for 10m min, using just a wooden spoon or a spoon mix the ingredients till a soft ball forms, reverse this onto a floured surface and just knead a little, place back in oiled bowl,cover with plastic wrap and proof till doubled. 











I place them in a lit oven with the light on this gives enough heat to proof the dough

When this doubles, punch down form small 100 to 110  gr. panini's, if using a oven stone
place these on a tea towel that you have floured till they double again, when your 
stone is ready take the panini very carefully and place them on the stone bake at 
220 degrees for 20 -25 min till golden. 
or place them on your cookie sheet pan lined with parchment paper cover them with 
plastic or a tea towel till doubled and bake as above .















here they are ready to eat! 
Hope you enjoy these with some cheese or cold cuts and they make excellent hamburger buns also! 
Let me know how you liked them, 
I do freeze them because we don't eat all of them at once , I freeze the two at a time and take them out  at night or mid day when I know i need them. Also if you are worried about white flours I have made them with wheat or half white, half a wheat flour. 

Very Simply make also one loaf so good !
