A form of bread is a must when enjoying soup, especially on a cold night! I’ve made these seeded biscuits countless times and they never fail to disappoint. They are quick to make and freeze amazingly well for up to 2 weeks. Just thaw and reheat in a 350 oven for 10 minutes.
1 ¼ c all-purpose flour
1 c whole wheat flour
¼ c each sunflower seeds, flaxseeds and wheat germ
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ c cold butter, cubed
1 c milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp sesame seeds
In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose and whole wheat flours, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, wheat germ, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk to form soft slightly sticky dough. With floured hands, turn out onto lightly floured surface; knead gently 10 times. Pat out into 7 inch square. Cut into quarters, then cut each quarter into 3 strips. . (I’ve sometimes used a floured glass and cut the pastry so the biscuits are round instead of in strips) Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush tops with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in centre of a 425/220 oven until golden, about 12 minutes. Let cool on pan on racks.
