Ingredients

• 320 grams All-purpose flour
• 170 grams Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 360 milliliters Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Sunflower oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 100 grams Sunflower seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

In a separate smaller bowl, mix together the warm water, sunflower oil, and honey until the honey is dissolved.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Stir using a wooden spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.

Step 4

Add in the sunflower seeds and knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).

Step 7

Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles and shape it into a loaf.

Step 8

Place the loaf into a lightly greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 9

Cover the dough again and let it rise for another 30 minutes or until it has risen slightly above the top of the pan.

Step 10

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

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.

Step 12

Slice and serve the sunflower seed bread warm or at room temperature.
