Description
Whole Grain Seeded Bread is a hearty, wholesome loaf made with whole wheat flour, pumpkin, sunflower, and flax seeds. It’s rustic yet soft, perfect for toast, sandwiches, or simply warm with butter.
Ingredients
3 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, flax)
2 teaspoons instant yeast
2 tablespoons raw honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 cups warm water (110°F)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine warm water and honey. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Whisk flour and mixed seeds together in a large bowl.
- Gradually add yeast mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Shape dough into a loaf and place in a greased pan.
- Bake 30–35 minutes, until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- Cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
Add chia, sesame seeds, or oats for more texture.
Mix in dried cranberries or raisins for sweetness.
For a savory version, add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme.
Swap honey for maple syrup to make it vegan.
Sprinkle extra seeds on top before baking for a beautiful crust.
