The Best Sourdough Glazed Donuts

My children don’t love seeds in their bread (weirdos), but I love a good seed bread! This recipe for honey molasses seed bread makes excellent toast. It’s dense, chewy, and very filling.

 

I have been using a variation on honey molasses bread ever since I began using natural yeast. We have loved it plain, with cinnamon & raisins, as dutch oven bread, cinnamon rolls, scones, etc.

I grew up eating my mom’s seed bread and loved it. So it was no surprise that turning a honey molasses loaf into a seeded one was a success in my books! The loaf looks pretty, and is packed with extra vitamins and good fats to help boost the nutritional value of your bread.

This would be a great loaf to take to a neighbor, or to keep all to yourself! My kids eat it, but carefully pick out the seeds as they do so. I am left with little piles of all the good stuff when they are done. I seek out those morsels!

This is “adult bread” at our house, and I am perfectly okay with that!  Making this seed bread taught me that sometimes, you have to make things that YOU enjoy, even if you are the only one eating them.

    Your recipe sounds wonderful and the bread looks fabulous! If we don’t have yeast starter, can we use the yeast in packets mixed with water?

    • Kelsey says:

      It wouldn’t be the same. Natural yeast equates to the packets about 1/2 c of yeast to a packet. So if you wanted to switch it over to regular bread with commercial yeast, you would use one packet for this recipe, and adjust the flour as needed (adding a bit more). Hope that helps! I have never reversed it before!

    Scones!? I’d love to hear how you use this dough to make scones!

    • Kelsey says:

      I will make a post! When I refer to scones, it’s not the biscuit type, it’s the fried dough type! ha.
