Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 355 ml Warm water
- 60 g Honey
- 7 g Instant yeast
- 240 g All-purpose flour
- 180 g Whole wheat flour
- 40 g Rolled oats
- 30 g Sunflower seeds
- 15 g Chia seeds
- 8 g Salt
- 40 g Unsalted butter (softened)
- 60 ml Milk
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the warm water and honey. Stir to dissolve the honey, then sprinkle the instant yeast over the mixture. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the yeast becomes foamy.
Add the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and salt to the bowl. Mix gently until a rough dough forms.
Add the softened butter and milk to the dough, then knead by hand or with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough becomes 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, draft-free spot for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf with the kitchen towel and let it rise again for about 30-40 minutes, or until it has doubled in size and risen slightly above the edges of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top 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. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
