Chia Bread

Adapted from : http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/recipes/wholemealwhitechia-mix-loaf/90806

I baked this on Saturday. Fresh loaf for breakfast.

Ingredients

Bread Loaf

250 g wholemeal flour., I use Atta
250 g white bakers flour., I use Wallaby
10 g dry yeast., I use Lowans
1 tsp sea salt.
1 tsp raw sugar.
30 g Olive Oil.
300 g Warm water.
2 tablespoon chia seeds
6 tablespoon Warm water., up to 8tblspns

Preparation

Bread Loaf

Mix Chia Seeds and 6-8 tablespoons of water to form a gel. Set aside

Add into Bowl in this order
Warm Water (not too hot)
Yeast
Salt
Sugar
Flours
Oil
Mix on 6 for 10 seconds
Add in Chia Gel
Mix on 6 for 10 seconds
Turn to Closed position and Knead for 2 minutes
Empty into a lightly sprayed bowl and put glad wrap over the top Place into a warm place until dough has risen to the top.
Empty onto a lightly floured board/mat and knock down, and shape into a loaf and place into loaf tin. I bought mine from a place in WA called All about bread. Most good kitchen places sell these good quality loaf tins. I use mine at Christmas time for Icecream pudding as well Its a very versatile pan !
I lightly spray my loaf tin with oil.
Then place into a warm place and allow to rise again, at least 3/4 of the way but preferrably to the top
The double rising is one of the ways of ensuring a good loaf
Brush top of loaf with water lightly
Place a container of water in the bottom of the oven. This gives a nice crispy crust
Bake in a preheated oven of 180-190 degrees depending on the temperament of your oven ! allow around 30 minutes. Check after 20mins
At around 30 mins take the loaf out and give it a tap on the bottom and it should sound hollow
