Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.75 cup Mixed seeds (such as sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, and sesame seeds)
- 0.25 cup Oats
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt.
In a smaller bowl, mix the warm water and honey until the honey dissolves.
Add the honey-water mixture and the low-fat Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients.
Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or a spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Gradually knead in the mixed seeds and oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl, turning it to coat all sides.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a floured surface.
Shape the dough into a loaf by stretching it into a rectangle, folding the sides in, and rolling it up from the bottom.
Place the shaped loaf seam side down into the prepared loaf pan.
Cover the loaf with a towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes, or until it has risen just over the top of the pan.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
