Pumpkin Seed Bread

Overview

Healthy 100% baking is a must-have concept for those who love baking. Baked delicacies are definitely not acceptable if they are just a feast for the eyes and harm the health of your family. As a baking enthusiast, I want to bake healthy and delicious food for my family. This is my true love for my family. The bread I made today uses crushed pumpkin seeds to enhance the flavor. Instead of using butter, healthy walnut oil is used for fat. Very little sugar is used, and old rock sugar is used to make powder instead of white sugar. This bread is specially made for my husband. He loves to eat healthy bread. Pumpkin seeds are very rich in nutrients: iron, zinc, magnesium, manganese and healthy fats. It also contains carotene, protein, and vitamins A, B1, B2 and other nutrients necessary for the human body. Pumpkin seeds can nourish the body and replenish qi, reduce inflammation and relieve pain, detoxify, kill insects and reduce phlegm, clear away heat and detoxify, treat deficiency and cold, moisten the lungs and relieve cough, and prevent cancer. External anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment for burns. It can also prevent and treat prostate disease: Doctors believe that eating about 50 grams of pumpkin seeds every day can effectively prevent and treat prostate disease. This is because the function of prostate hormone secretion depends on fatty acids, and pumpkin seeds are rich in fatty acids, which can maintain good function of the prostate. I bought a lot of pumpkin seeds for my husband to eat, but he didn’t like them, so I put them in bread. He liked the pumpkin seeds bread very much. Although this bread has a lot of pumpkin seeds added, it still has a very soft texture.
