Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe ensures that every slice is irresistibly delicious.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This activates the yeast.
Add the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and salt to the bowl. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Drizzle in the olive oil and begin kneading the dough either by hand on a floured surface or using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Shape it into a loaf and place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until it rises about 1 inch above the edge of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Once preheated, bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
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.
Enjoy your Killer Bread as part of a sandwich, toasted with your favorite spread, or simply on its own!
