I was terrified to try this. I had barely started making regular white bread and was so worried it wouldn't turn out. And I was very worried my family would hate it. But I worried for nothing! It was super easy, ultra yummy and GREAT!
1 1/3 c very warm water
3 T honey
1 t active dry yeast
Mix together in a small bowl to activate the yeast.
In your kitchen aid or bosch type mixer*, combine the following:
1 1/2 c white flour
1 1/3 c whole wheat flour
1/2 c ground flax seed meal (I found this in the health food area of Smiths and Walmart)
1 t salt
When yeast is all bubbly, slowly pour into dry ingredient mixture. Then pour in 2 T olive oil. Mix well with kneading hook for 7 minutes. Stir in 1/2 c raw sunflower seeds.
Pour onto floured counter and knead for one minute. Shape into a loaf and place in a sprayed loaf pan. Let rise until double. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. I sprayed it lightly with cooking spray as soon as it came out of the oven to keep the crust soft. Makes one loaf. If you thinly slice it, it should make 15 slices.
*If you don't have a bosch or kitchenaid mixer, you will need to knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes. Mix in as much flour as you can to the liquid ingredients with a hand mixer then knead the rest in my hand.
