Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup flaxseeds
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups warm water Ensure water is warm, not hot.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • a little extra vanilla Optional for added aroma.
  • fresh butter For richness.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, salt, and sugar. Stir until evenly mixed.
  • In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.
  • Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Rising

  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Punch down the dough, divide it into two loaves, and place in greased loaf pans.
  • Let the loaves rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Tap the bottom to check for a hollow sound.
  • Allow to cool before slicing on a wire rack.

Notes

Store in a cool pantry wrapped in a clean kitchen towel. Freeze slices for longer storage. Reheat slices in the toaster for freshness.
