Ingredients

  1. 1 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
    2 teaspoons active dry yeast
    1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1 cup bread flour
    1/2 cup rolled oats
    1/4 cup sunflower seeds
    2 tablespoons flaxseeds
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon chili flakes or cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
    2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and honey. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine whole wheat flour, bread flour, oats, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, salt, and chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
  2. Combine and Knead: Add yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. First Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  4. Shape and Second Rise: Punch down dough and shape into a loaf. Place in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  5. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  1. Adjust chili flakes to increase or decrease spice level.
  2. Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
  3. Substitute or add sesame or pumpkin seeds for variety.
  4. Add a tablespoon of molasses or brown sugar for sweet and spicy flavor.
  5. Store bread in an airtight container or bread box at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  6. Freeze slices in airtight bags for up to 3 months.
  7. Toast or warm slices in the oven before serving.
  8. Add garlic powder or fresh herbs like rosemary for additional flavor.
  9. Bake with steam by placing a pan of water in the oven for a crispy crust.
