Gaby's Bakery - 6 Seed Sourdough Bread

This beautifully blistered sourdough loaf, crusty and bronzed on the outside, with a soft, airy crumb, is studded with six toasted seeds. It delivers a nutty aroma, gentle crunch, and that perfect balance of tang and warmth in every slice. 

Rustic, nourishing, and effortlessly elegant, it pairs perfectly with salted butter or a sharp cheese — the sort of everyday luxury that reminds you to slow down and savour the simple things. 

6 Seed Sourdough Bread

Ingredients:
500g six seed flour
330ml cold water
160g starter
1 tsp salt

Method:
Feed your starter in the morning, equal quantity flour to water. Leave this out for a few hours until its grown and is bubbly.

Once starter is ready, in a large bowl mix all your ingredients together until everything is incorporated. Cover with cling film and leave out overnight, (minimum 12 hours).

Preheat oven to 240c, place a tray with boiling water on the bottom shelf of the oven, (this creates steam for a crusty bread).

Once oven has heated up, line a tin with parchment paper / cake liner and pour the dough into the tin. Make a few cuts into the top of the dough with kitchen scissors. Turn the oven down to 220c and place the tin in the oven. Bake for 1 hour.

Once ready take out the oven and place on a wire rack to cool down.

Enjoy.

Myths & Misunderstandings - Can I over-protein my hair?

Healthy hair is essentially 97% protein and 3% water. The protein provides the structural strength, the water gives flexibility and shine. Hair cannot be overloaded with protein but it can become so dehydrated with heat styling, colouring, and siliconised hair products that you end up losing the 3% water of fresh root hair, and then what is left of the shrunken hair towards the ends is 100% protein and too porous to hold moisture.
