Ingredients

• 120 grams Rolled oats
• 250 grams Whole wheat flour
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Pumpkin seeds
• 50 grams Sunflower seeds
• 20 grams Chia seeds
• 20 grams Flaxseeds
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 7 grams Dry active yeast
• 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
• 360 milliliters Warm water (around 40°C/105°F)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix the warm water and honey (or maple syrup). Sprinkle the dry active yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Step 3

Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the dry mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until the dough is smooth but slightly sticky. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour (1 tablespoon at a time).

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it with oil, and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in the prepared loaf pan and cover with the kitchen towel. Let it rise again for about 20-30 minutes until it slightly puffs up.

Step 8

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
