Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup (375 ml) Warm Water (110 F)
- 2 ¼ tsp Active Dry Yeast
- 2 Tbsp Honey
- 3 Tbsp Unsalted Butter melted
- 2 ¾ Cups (336 g) Whole Wheat Flour
- ⅞ Cup ( 100 g) Bread Flour
- ½ Cup (64 g) Buckwheat Flour
- 2 tsp Kosher Salt
- ¼ Cup ( 62.5 g) Rolled Oats
- ¼ Cup (62.5 g) Flaxseeds
- 3 Tbsp Raw Sunflower Seeds (no shell)
Topping
- 1 Egg and 1 tsp water beaten with a fork
- ¼ Cup Sesame Seeds
Instructions
- In bowl of stand mixer, gently stir together warm water, yeast, and honey.
- Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a separate bowl mix sifted flours and salt with a hand whisk.
- Using a dough hook on medium/low, add butter, then slowly add flours to yeast mixture. (Add seeds as you add the flour for an even distribution.)
- While you are spooning in the flours, start to add your flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, and oats. I just pour in a little at a time as the dough hook mixes them into the flour.
- Allow hook to knead dough until well formed. Continue to knead with hands for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Dough should have a tacky elasticity, but not be too sticky.
- Transfer dough into a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 1-2 hours in a warm location until it has doubled in size.
- Remove dough from bowl and set onto a lightly floured surface. (Use bread flour.)
- Press excess air from dough. Fold dough inwards from the edges several times until a smooth ball is formed.
- Transfer to a parchment paper lined tray.
- Cover with tea towel and allow to rest for 30-40 minutes.
- Take a sharp knife and cut 3-4 slits about ¼ inch deep across the top of loaf.
- Brush with egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds across the egg wash.
- Place a deep baking tray in the bottom or lowest rack of oven. Fill ½ inch deep with hot water. (Steam will aid in the rise and bake of the loaf.)
- Place tray with loaf on the middle to lowest rack.
- Bake at 425 F for 45-50 min, or until golden brown.
- Let cool for 15 min before serving.
Notes
*Tip* Once you have removed loaf from dutch over, flip over and tap on the bottom. If you hear a hollow sound, bread is cooked through. Please use oven mit to handle hot bread! Serve with cheese and fruit!!
