Ingredients

• 250 grams whole wheat flour
• 150 grams spelt flour
• 100 grams quinoa flour
• 50 grams millet flour
• 10 grams instant yeast
• 10 grams sea salt
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 350 milliliters warm water
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons flaxseeds
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 3 tablespoons sunflower seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, spelt flour, quinoa flour, millet flour, instant yeast, chia seeds, flaxseeds, nutritional yeast, sunflower seeds, and sea salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the warm water, maple syrup, and olive oil, stirring until the maple syrup is completely dissolved.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well.

Step 4

Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix the ingredients together until a sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5 to 7 minutes, adding a little more flour if necessary to prevent sticking.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).

Step 8

Punch down the dough to release the gases and shape it into a loaf.

Step 9

Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan, cover it, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 10

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

Step 11

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