Seed & Spelt Bread Abm

Katzen's Note:

Originally from "300 Best Canadian Bread Machine Recipes", I changed this recipe to suit our love of seeds and a recent interest in spelt. I also wanted to increase the whole grains and reduce or eliminate the white flour. What I ended up with was a delicious, hearty bread, that while dense, still doubled in volume. Feel free to change the non-spelt flour to whatever you'd like, for a total of 1 1/2 cups; there's no need for the gluten if using white bread flour for the entire amount. For the seeds, use any combination you like, for a total of 3/4 cup.

Katzen, this is an absolutely delightful loaf of bread, such a lovely taste and texture, I think it's the spelt and oat flour the flavour really comes through, I think it's really worth using the spelt it's a very nice flour with a lovely taste. I didn't have any pumpkin or poppy seeds so I used all sunflower and flax seeds, next time I will make sure I have them in my larder I will be making this loaf again it's delicious. Thank you for posting.
