Prep Time

The prep time for this recipe is approximately 15 minutes.

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is approximately 1 hour.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon celery seeds
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water (110-115°F)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon or stand mixer with dough hook attachment
  • 9x5 inch loaf pan

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, yeast, and celery seeds.
  2. Add the warm water and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and stir until the dough comes together.
  3. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area for 30-45 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  6. Punch down the dough and knead it for a few minutes on a floured surface.
  7. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  8. Cover the loaf with a damp cloth and allow it to rise for another 15-20 minutes.
  9. Bake the bread for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  10. Remove the bread from the oven and cool it in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If you don't have celery seeds, you can substitute with caraway seeds or fennel seeds for a slightly different flavor.
  • Make sure the water is warm and not hot, as hot water can kill the yeast and prevent the bread from rising.
  • If you don't have a loaf pan, you can shape the dough into a round or rectangular shape and bake it on a baking sheet.

Recipes FAQ

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?

Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all or some of the all-purpose flour in this recipe. Keep in mind that whole wheat flour will produce a denser and heartier bread.

Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?

Yes, you can use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast in this recipe. However, you will need to adjust the amount of yeast used. For instant yeast, use 2 1/4 teaspoons instead of 1 tablespoon.

Can I freeze celery seed bread?

Yes, you can freeze celery seed bread for up to 3 months. Wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil or a freezer-safe bag. Thaw the bread at room temperature for a few hours before serving.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure the dough has doubled in size before shaping it into a loaf and placing it in the pan. This will ensure that the bread rises properly in the oven.
  • Brush the top of the bread with melted butter or olive oil before baking for a shiny and golden crust.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it, as cutting into warm bread can cause it to become gummy.
