Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Whole wheat flour
- 100 grams Rolled oats
- 80 grams Mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts)
- 50 grams Mixed seeds (e.g., sunflower, flax, pumpkin)
- 50 grams Dried fruit (e.g., raisins, apricots, dates), chopped
- 7 grams Instant dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 300 milliliters Warm water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, mixed nuts, mixed seeds, chopped dried fruit, instant dry yeast, and salt.
In a separate bowl, dissolve the honey in the warm water, then mix in the olive oil.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes, until it has risen just above the rim of the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
