Ingredients

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

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oats, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, and salt.
  2. In a separate small bowl, mix together the honey, olive oil, warm water, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Allow it to rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased bread pan and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rise for another 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  7. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
