In the mean time, if we want bread, it has to be hand-kneaded. And this is the task that I dread the most. Try kneading bread dough on a hot afternoon in a hot kitchen and you will know what I mean. The amount of sweat is similar to 1-hour of gym class. And each time I hand-kneaded a bread dough, I would swear that was the last time that I will do so.
Anyhow, here's my latest (or last) attempt. A hand-kneaded Sunflower Seeds Braided Bread, recipe from a talented baker on KC.

Can see the braid properly as it is covered by the sunflower seeds.

hi viv, this looks absolutely yummy, and healthy too! but too bad i'm getting abit sick of making bread, so i'll try other stuffs 1st =)
keep up the good work ya?
hey there,
to knead bread, you can also use
a cake mixer. however, instead of using the normal beaters, use the dough hooks.
i do that and i get really nice bread, without much sweat.
you just need to beat it with the dough hooks for about 8 mins for nicely textured bread.
hope this helps.

Hi Evan,
Thanks for your nice comments!
Hi Kate,
Thanks for the advice. Sadly, I don't have a proper cake mixer. I only have a hand mixer and a low-power stand mixer. Can't knead bread dough. :( Maybe time to invest in a proper mixer.
Mycoffee, admire your hand kneading 'power', that's a very nice loaf of bread.
Thanks, Angie. You are so kind!
Impresive this bread...It looks marvellous...I have a Bread Maker...I'll traying it...
Thanks Elbereth. You should definitely give this recipe a try! :)
