Ingredients

• 300 grams Whole wheat flour
• 200 grams Bread flour
• 7 grams Active dry yeast
• 350 ml Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons Pumpkin seeds
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the warm water and maple syrup, then sprinkle in the active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, bread flour, and salt.

Step 3

Add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a rough dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.

Step 5

Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough in it, turning once to ensure it's coated. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.

Step 6

Once risen, punch down the dough and knead in the chia seeds, flaxseeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Shape the dough into a loaf and place it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Cover the loaf with a slightly damp cloth and let it rise again for about 30 minutes, or until it has puffed up.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).

Step 10

Once the loaf has risen, make a few slashes on the top with a sharp knife for ventilation and place it in the preheated oven.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack completely before slicing. Enjoy your delicious vegan pain aux graines!
