Ingredients
- 400 grams Whole wheat flour
- 25 grams Vital wheat gluten
- 60 grams Mixed seeds (e.g., sunflower, pumpkin, flax, sesame, chia)
- 300 milliliters Warm water (approximately 40°C)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.5 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 30 grams Unsweetened plant-based protein powder (e.g., pea or hemp)
- 2 tablespoons Additional seeds for topping
Directions
Step 1
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten, unsweetened plant-based protein powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 2
2. In a separate small bowl, mix the warm water, honey (or maple syrup), and olive oil. Sprinkle the instant yeast over the liquid and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Step 3
3. Gradually pour the yeast mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Begin mixing the dough with a wooden spoon or your hands until a sticky dough forms.
Step 4
4. Add the mixed seeds into the dough and knead for about 8-10 minutes on a floured surface, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5-6 minutes. The dough should be slightly sticky but elastic and smooth.
Step 5
5. Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 6
6. Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf into a greased or parchment-lined 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan.
Step 7
7. Cover the dough again and let it rise for 30 minutes, or until it rises just above the edge of the loaf pan.
Step 8
8. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Brush the top of the dough with a little water and sprinkle the additional seeds evenly over the surface for a decorative and crunchy topping.
Step 9
9. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 10
10. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
