Ingredients

• 300 g whole wheat flour
• 150 g plain all-purpose flour
• 50 g rolled oats
• 50 g sunflower seeds
• 50 g pumpkin seeds
• 20 g chia seeds
• 20 g flaxseeds
• 10 g dry yeast
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1.5 tsp salt
• 350 ml warm water
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, plain flour, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and flaxseeds.

Step 2

Add the dry yeast and salt to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Step 3

In a separate bowl or jug, mix the warm water, honey, and olive oil until the honey dissolves.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or your hands until a sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Lightly grease a loaf tin or line it with parchment paper.

Step 8

Punch down the risen dough gently and shape it into an oblong loaf. Place the dough into the prepared tin.

Step 9

Cover the dough lightly with a kitchen towel and let it rise again for about 20–30 minutes, until it puffs up slightly above the edges of the tin.

Step 10

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 12

Serve your delicious brown seed bread with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings. Store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
