Multi-Seed Honey Wheat Bread

A soft, full-flavored loaf made with whole wheat and five seeds, providing crunch, fiber, and healthy fats, sweetened naturally with honey.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 2 loaves 1x

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

  1. Add the yeast and sugar to the warm milk and stir. Let sit for 3-5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Whisk together the whole wheat flour, 2 cups of bread flour, seeds, and salt in a mixer bowl.
  3. Add the milk/yeast mixture, canola oil, and honey.
  4. Mix with the dough hook on low speed, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Gradually add more bread flour until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball.
  6. Knead with the dough hook on low for 5 minutes.
  7. Cover and let rise for an hour or until doubled in size.
  8. Spray two bread pans and sprinkle seeds in the bottom. Punch down dough, divide, shape into loaves, and place in pans. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle seeds on top.
  10. Bake for 28-30 minutes until golden brown and hollow when tapped. Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For meal prep, you can freeze one loaf after cooling or shape the loaves and freeze the raw dough after the first rise.
