Ingredients

• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1.25 cups warm water
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
• 0.25 cup pumpkin seeds (optional)
• 0.5 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, honey, and olive oil together until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or dough hook attachment of a stand mixer until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

If using sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or dried fruit, fold them into the dough now for added texture and flavor.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use the dough hook on a stand mixer for 5-6 minutes.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan or onto a parchment-lined baking sheet for a more rustic shape.

Step 8

Cover and let the loaf rise again for 30-40 minutes until it has risen to about double its size.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Slice and serve warm with butter, or use as a base for sandwiches. Enjoy your Falls Mill Harvest Bread!
