Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Active dry yeast
• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Flaxseeds, ground
• 1 cup Sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons Molasses
• 2 teaspoons Walnut extract

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, honey, and olive oil. Stir until the honey dissolves.

Step 2

Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the liquid mixture and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously to form a dough.

Step 5

Once the dough begins to come together, add the ground flaxseeds and sunflower seeds, mixing until they are evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Add the molasses and walnut extract to the dough, ensuring even distribution for a rich flavor profile.

Step 7

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 8

Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

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

Step 11

Cover and let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes, or until it rises slightly above the rim of the pan.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 14

Slice and serve your nut-free walnut-flavored bread with your favorite spreads or enjoy it plain.
