Adding nuts & seeds improves
the flavor of breads

Nuts and seeds can be added to breads to provide crunchiness as well as flavor. Pecans, almonds, macadamia nuts, pistachio nuts and walnuts provide wonderful flavor and texture to breads.

Nuts can be added to teabreads, or used as decoration on top of sweet breads.

Caraway seeds, fennel, flax seeds, poppy seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds can all be added to breads to provide crunchiness as well as added flavor and nutritional value.

Tip: Lightly toast pine nuts, hazelnuts and almonds to bring out the flavor before using in a recipe.
