Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2.5 cups Bread flour
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cup Sunflower seeds
- 0.25 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (plus extra for greasing)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and honey. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.
In a large bowl, mix the bread flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Add the sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and sesame seeds to the dough. Mix well to distribute the seeds evenly.
Drizzle in the olive oil and knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with a towel and let the dough rise again for 30-40 minutes, until it rises slightly above the edge of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
