Seeduction Bread


Some of you may have discovered a bread at Whole Foods called 'Seeduction', and if you haven't, you must! It tastes sinfully good and will make you crave it for it's cake like moistness. After reading various forums, conversations, blogs and articles alike about this particular bread, I became obsessed with figuring out the formula. I wanted to bake it at home and not have to purchase it, so I took on the challenge.

To carry out this formula successfully, I knew that I must have a sound base of knowledge and understanding of each ingredient so that I could foretell the end result once all combined. The only ingredient I didn't know much about was millet [a now favorite grain of mine]. I learned from my research that it is best toasted before added to recipes to give a rounded flavor and more pleasing texture.

In the end, I was successful leaving me with the most beautiful, seedy, moist bread. After my last two failed attempts at a sourdough, I felt like a terrible baker. That is is until now; now I have restored my faith in myself as a competent baker. Take a look at my bread and drool, for I am far too protective over this recipe. Sorry, you'll just have to buy a loaf to taste the goodness.
