Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 1/4 cup flaxseeds
• 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds
• 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/4 cups warm water

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, cornmeal, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the honey, olive oil, yeast, salt, and warm water. Let it sit for a few minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
7. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.
8. Cover the loaf pan with the kitchen towel again and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
9. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
10. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
