Ingredients

• 1.5 cups warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup rolled oats
• 0.25 cup sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons flaxseeds
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons additional rolled oats or seeds (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and honey or maple syrup. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, and salt.

Step 3

Add the olive oil to the yeast mixture, followed by the dry ingredient mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it forms a smooth and elastic ball.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 7

Cover the dough again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until it rises slightly above the edge of the pan.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, brush the top of the dough with water and sprinkle additional rolled oats or seeds on top for garnish.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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.
