Multi-Seed Honey Wheat Bread is a nutritious and delicious bread recipe that combines whole wheat flour with an assortment of seeds, honey, and canola oil for a delightful taste and texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups warm milk (about 110 degrees)
- 1 Tbsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2–1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 to 3 cups bread flour
- 6 Tbsp shelled sunflower seeds
- 6 Tbsp pepitas
- 2 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp poppy seeds
- 1 Tbsp flax seeds
- 2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- Egg wash: 1 egg whisked together with 1 Tbsp water
- Extra seeds for sprinkling over the top
Instructions
- Add the yeast and sugar to the warm milk and give a stir, let sit for 3-5 minutes until foamy or frothy.
- In your mixer bowl, whisk together all of the whole wheat flour, 2 cups of the bread flour, the seeds, and salt.
- Add in the milk/yeast mixture, canola oil and honey.
- Use the dough hook on low speed to mix everything together, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Slowly add in up to another cup of bread flour. You probably will not need all of it – just add enough until the dough pulls away from the sides of the mixer and comes together as a ball of dough.
- Let the dough knead with the dough hook on low for 5 minutes.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer, remove the hook, and spray around and under the dough with non stick spray.
- Cover with a towel and let rise for an hour or until double in size.
- Spray two bread pans with non-stick spray and sprinkle a few seeds in the bottom.
- Punch down the dough and divide into two equal size pieces.
- Shape each piece into a loaf and place each loaf in one of the prepared pans.
- Cover and allow the bread to rise for an additional 30-45 minutes or until doubled in size again.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Gently brush the egg wash over the bread and sprinkle with additional seeds if desired.
- Bake the loaves at 350°F for 28-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through (it should sound hollow when you tap the bottom of the loaf).
- Immediately remove bread from pans and allow the bread to cool completely on the cooling rack before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure the milk is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- Feel free to experiment with different seeds based on preference.
- Store any leftover bread in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
