Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Gather all ingredients to ensure a smooth mixing and kneading process.
- In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, mixed seeds, instant yeast, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, stir the warm water and honey together until fully dissolved.
- Gradually pour the honey-water mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring until you have a shaggy, sticky dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set it in a warm spot for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.
Shaping and Second Rise
- Punch the dough down gently to deflate it, then shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.
- Cover and let it rise for another hour, until noticeably lifted and domed.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown.
- Let the bread cool before slicing to avoid compressing the crumb.
Notes
Cool fully before storing to maintain crust. Store at room temperature in a sealed container. For easy meals, slice the bread once cooled.
