Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups Bread flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5-7 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the whole wheat flour, bread flour, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Drizzle in the olive oil and milk, and knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes on medium speed.
Place the dough in a lightly greased mixing bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
After the first rise, punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf with the kitchen towel again and let it rise for another 30-40 minutes until it has risen about 1 inch above the sides of the pan.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread 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.
