Easy to prepare, with minimal ingredients and no added sugar, this is the ultimate recipe for anyone seeking a delicious, fiber-rich, and wholesome bread-baking experience.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
In another bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients together until a dough begins to form. You may need to use your hands towards the end to fully bring the dough together.
Once the dough is formed, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead it by hand for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Return the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Gently deflate the dough and transfer it back to the floured surface. Flatten it slightly and sprinkle the mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, flaxseeds, chia, and sesame) over the top.
Knead the dough gently to incorporate the seeds, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.
Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Cover the loaf with a towel and let it rest for an additional 20 minutes.
Using a sharp knife, score the top of the bread with a few slashes to allow it to expand while baking.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy your sugar-free Pain aux Graines as a healthy addition to any meal.
