Hi. You could make it the regular way and then substitute the sunflower seeds for the oatmeal or put half of the oatmeal and sun flower seeds for the other half. Or else just add some sunflower seeds and use the higher amount of water. Just thoughts, not truth Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 8,

Hi, Everyone. I want to make King Arthur Flour's Honey Oat Pain de Mie, but want to add maybe a quarter cup of sunflower seeds to the mix. How much more water should I add to make sure the dough is hydrated enough? Here's the ingredient list for a 9x4 Pullman loaf: For 9x4 loaf: 12 3/4 ounces

The beans will go in to crock pot chili. I've got leftover bell pepper, onion, diced tomato, and ground beef I need to use. I want to bulk up the chili with more fiber, so thought a blend of beans would be a good thing. There are also hot dogs and potatoes, so I may be able to cook all that we'll

Hi Dani, Well, when the water is barely simmering, I can usually hear just a little sound; it doesn't sound like a true boil, but it's not like there's no activity. But it's hard for me to hear unless it's really quiet. Plus there's some steam coming up that you can feel if your hand is

Hi Dani, Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the flame to a very low one, and let your pot continue cooking for the designated length of time or tenderness. I think it will help if you keep your cooking pot covered with a good lid. The lid will help lock in the moisture and the flavors of

Hi Dani, I think you can cook these beans together. Put them in a pot large enough to cover them with 2 quarts of water. I usually cook them on medium for approximately 2 hours. I usually add 1/4 cup of oil it seems to keep them from sticking to the pot. I can't speak for anyone else but I
