Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cups Chia seeds
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and honey. Stir gently to dissolve the yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.
Step 2
In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, chia seeds, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the chia seeds.
Step 3
Add the olive oil to the yeast mixture followed by the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until a rough dough begins to form.
Step 4
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add additional flour if needed to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning once to coat the surface of the dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 6
Punch down the dough to remove excess air. Shape it into a loaf by folding the dough over itself and tucking in the sides.
Step 7
Place the shaped loaf into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow it to rise for another 30 to 45 minutes, or until the loaf has risen about 1 inch above the rim of the pan.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the oven is heated, bake the bread for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Step 9
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
