My wife is concerned the seeds will be to hard after the bread is baked. Will seeds (like sesame) be like little grains of sand after baking on the bread? Also – do you use an egg wash on the seeded bread before baking?
Hi Thomas, thanks for the question. You don’t have to worry about the seeds getting hard. And there’s no need for an egg wash — the moist towel creates a sticky surface for the seeds to stick to.
Some multigrain bread is better suited to propping open a door than making a sandwich. We wanted a light but flavorful loaf--and we didn't want to spend all day making it.
With our test kitchen know-how (and relentless testing) we found ways to make naturally fast dishes faster, and traditionally slow-cooked dinners a weeknight option. But one thing we never did was settle on shortcuts that shortchanged flavor.
