Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Whole grain oat flour
• 0.25 cup Sunflower seeds
• 0.25 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
• 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and oat flour. Stir in the sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and flaxseeds.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, dissolve the honey in the warm water. Add the instant yeast and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Step 3

Add the olive oil and apple cider vinegar to the yeast mixture.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough begins to form.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, as needed.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free environment for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 9

Cover the loaf with a cloth and let it rise again for 15-20 minutes until slightly puffed.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
