Seeded Whole Wheat Bread

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the warm water and honey, stirring until the honey dissolves.

2. 2

   Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water-honey mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.

3. 3

   Add the whole wheat flour, mixed seeds, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form.

4. 4

   Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

5. 5

   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

6. 6

   Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased bread pan and cover again, letting it rise for another 30 minutes.

7. 7

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

8. 8

   Once the dough has risen, bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

9. 9

   Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
