Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 cups Bread flour
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 0.25 cup Sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5-7 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the whole wheat flour, bread flour, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Drizzle in the olive oil and milk, and knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes on medium speed.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased mixing bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

After the first rise, punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 6

Cover the loaf with the kitchen towel again and let it rise for another 30-40 minutes until it has risen about 1 inch above the sides of the pan.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

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

Step 9

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