Ingredients

• 3 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 cups Warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseeds
• 2 tablespoons Sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons Pumpkin seeds
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon No-sodium baking powder

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is activated.

Step 2

Add the olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, ground flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, and no-sodium baking powder.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the yeast mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or a dough hook attachment if using a stand mixer, until a sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes, adding small amounts of flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough gently to release the air and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf into a greased 9x5-inch bread pan.

Step 8

Cover the pan with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for another 30–40 minutes, until it has risen above the edge of the pan.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the bread for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
