Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup bread flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons flaxseeds
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 2.25 cups warm water (around 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, bread flour, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, honey, and olive oil until the honey is fully dissolved.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and stir to combine using a wooden spoon or your hands. The dough will be sticky but should come together into a rough ball.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes, adding a dusting of flour if it’s too sticky, until smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a clean bowl and place the dough inside. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free spot for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release air bubbles, then shape it into a round or oval loaf. Place it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or into a lightly greased loaf pan.
Cover the dough again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until it has puffed up slightly.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once the dough has finished its second rise, use a sharp knife to make a few shallow slashes on top for decoration (optional), and place the bread in the preheated oven.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
