Ingredients

• 250 grams whole wheat flour
• 250 grams bread flour
• 10 grams active dry yeast
• 10 grams salt
• 50 grams honey
• 300 milliliters lukewarm water
• 100 grams rolled oats
• 100 grams mixed nuts and seeds (e.g., almonds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds)
• 100 grams dried fruits (e.g., raisins, cranberries, chopped apricots)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, bread flour, and salt.

Step 2

Dissolve the active dry yeast in lukewarm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 3

Add the honey to the yeast mixture and stir well.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 5

Incorporate the oats, mixed nuts, seeds, and dried fruits into the dough.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 8

After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air, and shape it into a loaf.

Step 9

Place the loaf into a greased 9x5 inch bread pan, cover with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise again for about 30 minutes or until doubled.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
