Q&A

Can I use whole wheat flour?

Do I really not need to knead?

Correct. Simply mixing the dough is enough.

Can I use different seeds?

Absolutely. Hemp seeds, poppy seeds, or oats work well.

Why is my bread dense?

Too much flour or insufficient rising can affect texture.

Can I make this without yeast?

Yes, but texture will be more like soda bread.

What can I serve with it?

Butter, soup, avocado, cheese, eggs, or sandwiches.

Is the glass bowl necessary?

No, but it gives the bread its signature rounded shape.
