Wheat enriched squares
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. To add variety to your first course or afternoon snack, simply prepare a new type of bread. In this recipe, instead of traditional loaf-shaped bread, make small squares from enriched wheat dough. This baked treat turns out very nutritious, as it requires the use of wheat or rye sourdough starter. It's most convenient to bake this bread on a baking sheet, cutting the dough into small portion-sized squares. You can decorate the baked goods with sesame seeds, cumin, or sunflower seeds. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
