Perfectly balanced with a touch of salt and activated with dry yeast, this easy-to-follow recipe lets your bread machine do all the heavy lifting. The result is a flavorful, multi-grain loaf that's perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoyed on its own. With a prep time of just 15 minutes and no kneading required, you can create bakery-quality bread in the comfort of your home.
Add the warm water, sourdough starter, olive oil, and honey to the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle the salt evenly into the pan.
Add the bread flour, whole wheat flour, and rye flour to the pan in that order to prevent the yeast from activating prematurely.
Sprinkle the rolled oats and sunflower seeds over the flour mixture.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and sprinkle the active dry yeast into the well.
Place the bread machine pan into the machine, ensuring it is securely installed.
Select the Whole Grain or similar program on the bread machine (approximately 3 hours duration) and press Start.
After the machine finishes kneading and resting cycles, check the dough’s consistency. It should form a slightly tacky ball. If too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time; if too dry, add a teaspoon of water.
Once the bread machine completes the cycle, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container or bread bag at room temperature for up to 3 days.
