Honey bread with pumpkin seeds 南瓜子蜂蜜麵包

I just cannot stop making bread!! And I keep wanting to try new recipes!

After flipping through the Panasonic recipe book, for the hundredth time, I came across a recipe for honey bread with sunflower seeds. No sunflower seeds at home, but that can easily be replaced. Everything else was available, so off I went!

Flour                 250g
Butter                15g
Sugar                 17g
Milk powder       6g
Salt                     5g
Honey                21g
Water                 180ml
Yeast                  2.8g
Sunflower seeds  20g

My modifications to the original recipe are:
140ml of water, pumpkin seeds instead of sunflower seeds. (And I didn't measure the seeds exactly, just eyeballed it)

Using Mode No.3, without the timer, light crust.




A pretty good tasting loaf! I like the light flavour and hint of honey. The rise of the bread didn't get affected by the addition of the seeds. I still wonder why store-bought bread tastes so much sweeter (and thus more appealing) and more fragrant than homemade. Is it the yeast? Is it the flour? Is it some secret ingredient? I want to know!!
