This post is for Sher from What did you eat? 01.10.2025 **, who suddenly passed away on July 20th 01.10.2025 **. My deepest condolences for the loss of Sher to her family and close friends. Please read >Glennas touching post 01.10.2025 **. Sher’s Bread Baking sisters are asking her online friends to go to her blog, select a recipe, make the dish, take pictures and blog about Sher’s wonderful food and share the memories with them.
I never met her in person, but I „knew“ her. We had our first virtual meeting at Weekend Herb Blogging 27.04.2021 **. Like me, she started to participate in this event in February 2006 01.10.2025 **. Than we met again as members of the Daring Bakers and we both send entries to Presto Pasta Nights. I am a bread baker and in June, when the kitchen of the month 01.10.2025 ** was hers in May, she presented me with the Buddy Badge 01.10.2025 **. So it was a question of honour to chose the Sunflower Seed-Orange Bread as a fitting tribute for a Bread Baking Babe and a lady who loved to share her food experiences with others.
Sunflower Seed-Orange Bread
Farewell Sher! You’ll be missed, but not forgotten.
I adapted the recipe to metric units and German flour.

Directions
1. In bowl, combine 200 grams flour, the dry yeast, sugar and salt.
2. Heat milk and margarine to 46 °C and put in a bowl. Add flour mixture to the milk. Add egg, orange peel and juice. Beat by hand or in a mixer at low speed 1-1/2 minutes; beat at high speed 3 minutes.
3. Stir in sunflower kernels by hand and add enough flour to make a soft dough (sher used about 437 grams flour in total, Ulrike 450 grams). Knead 10-12 minutes until the dough looks firm and smooth. Shape into a ball. Put about 1 Tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the dough into the bowl, then turn the oiled side up. Cover bowl with plastic film or a heavy cloth. Let rise until doubled.
4. Punch down and let rest 5 minutes. Shape into loaf and place in greased 25 x 12 x 9,5 cm cm loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk. (Ulrike: I did it over night in the fridge). You can brush the top of the loaf with 1 egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon water. Or not.
5. Bake at 190 °C for 40 minutes (45 minutes, if right out of the fridge). Let cool on a rack after removing from pan
