Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons sunflower seeds
- 3 tablespoons flax seeds
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt.
In a separate smaller bowl, mix the warm water, honey, and olive oil. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Flatten the dough slightly and sprinkle it evenly with the sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds. Knead the dough again briefly to distribute the seeds throughout.
Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf again with the kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until it reaches just above the edge of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together to make the egg wash.
Brush the top of the risen loaf with the egg wash for a golden and shiny crust.
Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom and registers 190°F (88°C) internally.
Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing or serving.
