Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1.5 cups warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 3 tablespoons sunflower seeds
• 3 tablespoons flax seeds
• 1 large egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate smaller bowl, mix the warm water, honey, and olive oil. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Flatten the dough slightly and sprinkle it evenly with the sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds. Knead the dough again briefly to distribute the seeds throughout.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 8

Cover the loaf again with the kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until it reaches just above the edge of the pan.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together to make the egg wash.

Step 10

Brush the top of the risen loaf with the egg wash for a golden and shiny crust.

Step 11

Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom and registers 190°F (88°C) internally.

Step 12

Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing or serving.
