Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Whole wheat flour
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 10 grams Active dry yeast
- 300 ml Warm water
- 30 ml Olive oil
- 7 grams Salt
- 50 grams Unsalted sunflower seeds
- 70 grams Sesame seeds
- 20 grams Flax seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour. Make a well in the center.
In another bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water (around 40°C or 104°F). Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Pour the yeast mixture into the well in the flour mixture along with olive oil and salt. Mix until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Incorporate the unsalted sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and flax seeds (if using) into the dough by kneading them in well.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release any air bubbles. Turn it out onto a floured surface and shape it into a round or oblong loaf.
Transfer the shaped dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or into a greased loaf pan.
Sprinkle additional sesame seeds on top as desired for added crunch and flavor.
Cover the loaf again and let it rise for another 20-30 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
