Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water.
• Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• Combine buttermilk, butter or margarine, honey and the yeast mixture in a large bowl.
• Add the salt, all of the seeds and the whole wheat flour and wheat germ.
• Stir to combine.
• Add the bread flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well with a wooden spoon after each addition.
• When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 minutes.
• Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with the oil.
• Cover with a damp cloth and put in a warm place to rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
• Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
• Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves.
• Place the loaves into the prepared pans.
• Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
• Bake at 375 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until the tops are brown and the bottom of a loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
• Makes 2 loaves.

Steps:

• Generously oil a sheet pan (preferably one with sides) measuring at least 11 by 17-inches with vegetable oil. In a medium-sized heavy saucepan, combine the water, sugar, cream of tartar and corn syrup and bring to a boil over medium heat. Using a candy thermometer to test it, boil the mixture until it reaches 340 to 350 degrees. The color should be deep golden brown. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, then mix in the sesame seeds and baking soda. Pour the mixture onto the oiled pan and spread it out a bit with the back of a wooden spoon, to about a 1/4-inch thickness. For thinner brittle, place a silpat on top and roll to desired thickness while it's still warm. Let harden, uncovered, in a cool place, 30 to 45 minutes. (To wash the saucepan, soak it overnight.) Using your hands, wearing white gloves if desired to keep off any fingerprints, break the brittle into pieces. Store in an airtight container. To rewarm, place in a 350-degree oven.

Steps:

• Soak 1 cup of seeds in 2 cups of water overnight.
• In morning, blend in blender for 5 minutes or until smooth.
• Strain and pour into a jar.
• Note: I strain the seeds then add fresh water before blending although it's not necessary.

Steps:

• Heat sunflower kernels in a non-stick skillet about 3 minutes over medium-high heat.
• Stir in the brown sugar, stirring constantly until melted and kernels are coated.
• Turn out onto waxed paper to cool.

Steps:

• Place the salt and vinegar into a saucepot, with enough water to cover the sweetbreads, and bring to a boil.
• Add the sweetbreads, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Drain and cover with cold water.
• Remove all membranes and tubes.
• Slice each sweetbread in half crosswise.
• Mix the flour and garlic powder together and dredge the sweetbreads in the flour mixture.
• Heat butter and oil in a skillet until very hot.
• Place the sweetbreads and shallots into the hot skillet and once you place them in, DO NOT move them around.
• When they are a light golden color on the bottom side, (about 3 to 5 minutes), with tongs, carefully turn them over to sear the other side until that side becomes a light golden color.
• Remove the sweetbreads and plate them as you desire. Garnish them with the Italian parsley leaves and serve as a wonderful appetizer.

Steps:

• Put the ingredients in the pan of your bread machine in the order listed, except for the various seeds.
• Set your machine for the French bread setting.
• Add the seeds when the machine beeps.
• Leave the machine alone to do its thing!

Steps:

• Mix flours and salt together.
• Proof yeast with honey in 1/4 cup warm water.
• Add the yeast and the rest of the water to flour.
• Knead for 10 minutes.
• Knead in the seeds.
• Let rise until doubled; cover with damp cloth; put in greased bowl; punch down; shape into 12 buns.
• Brush tops with water.
• Place on a greased cookie sheet .
• Slice tops, cover, and let rise.
• Brush tops with milk.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes or golden brown; the higher the temperature, the crispier the crust.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 .
• In a large bowl, sift the flour, sugar, and baking powder together.
• Work in the shortening as you would when making pie dough, to the consistency of coarse meal.
• Beat into the dough the eggs, milk, vanilla, and anise oil. The dough should be moist but not sticky. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
• Take a small portion of the dough and roll out to a 1/2 inch diameter cylinder.
• Spread some sesame seeds on a large piece of waxed paper and roll the dough in the seeds until the cylinder is completely covered.
• Cut the dough into 1 1/2 pieces on a diagonal.
• Place the cookies on a lightly greased sheet pan and bake for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Cool the cookies on a rack and store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour and yeast in large bowl. Heat milk, honey and sesame oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat to 115&F., stirring occasionally. Remove saucepan from heat. Add milk mixture to dry ingredients. Stir in egg yolk, remaining 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, cracked wheat and salt. Mix in enough all purpose flour 1/2 cup at a time to form soft, slightly sticky dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, adding more all purpose flour if very sticky, about 10 minutes.
• Lightly oil large bowl. Add dough, turning to coat entire surface. Cover bowl with kitchen towel. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 3/4 hours.
• Grease cookie sheet. Punch dough down. Mix in sunflower seeds and 2 1/2 tablespoons sesame seeds. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Divide dough in half. Pat each half into 1 1/2-inch-thick round. Place on prepared sheet. Cover and let rise in warm draft-free area until almost doubled, about 1 1/4 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375&F. Using sharp knife, cut 1/8-inch-deep, 1-inch-diameter circle in center of one round. Starting at outside of circle, cut 1/8-inch-deep slit to edge of loaf. Repeat 4 more times, spacing evenly apart and dividing bread into fifths. Repeat with second loaf. Beat egg white with 1 tablespoon water. Brush over loaves. Sprinkle pecans in center of each loaf. Sprinkle oats, caraway seeds, fennel seeds, poppy seeds and 2 teaspoons sesame seeds into divided spaces.
• Bake until loaves are brown and sound hollow when tapped on bottom, about 50 minutes. Transfer to racks and cool slightly. Serve bread warm or at room temperature.
