Seaweed bread has a very distinctive taste and many nutritional benefits. There are some studies that claim that seaweed bread can actually help you lose weight.
And because this bread is made with wholemeal flour it can make you feel fuller for longer. You can have this bread slightly toasted for breakfast drizzled with olive oil which I personally like or with butter if you like.
Seaweed bread is also easy to make and is sure to impress those who like Japanese cuisine or seafood in general.
To know how to make this bread please watch the video:
Ingredients:
- 300 grams wholemeal flour
- 200 grams AP flour
- 10 grams instant dried yeast
- 10 grams salt
- 10 grams shredded yaki nori
- 1, 1/2 cups lukewarm water
- sesame seeds to sprinkle “optional”
Tips:
- Knead the dough well before adding the seaweed.
- Add the seaweed in batches to make sure that they are distributed evenly in the dough.
- Leave the dough to rest for 1 hour. Then we form into a ball again and leave it to rest for 1 hour. Then we will form into a loaf and then leave to rest for yet another 1 hour.
- You can make slits on the loaf with a sharp knife. You can also brush it with water and sprinkle some sesame seeds.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 250C for 30-45 mins or until the bread is golden.
