Carmen's Healthy Whole Wheat Bread

One of the most nutritious bread you'll find! Full of healthy ingredients, and it tastes great too! ;) This bread was created by my good friend Carmen Witzig. Sometimes she uses 1 cup sorgum in place of one of the cups of whole wheat flour.

• Ready In: 2 hrs 10 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 3  cups bread flour
• 2  cups whole wheat flour
• 1⁄2 cup oats
• 1⁄2 cup wheat germ
• 1⁄3 cup sunflower seeds
• 1⁄4 cup flax seed
• 2  teaspoons salt
• 3  teaspoons dry yeast
• 1  teaspoon sugar
• 600  ml warm water (NOT hot)
• 1 -2  cup flour, for kneading
•  sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

1. Mix all of the dry ingredients (except yeast, sugar, and sesame seeds) together in a bowl.
2. In a seperate bowl mix the yeast and sugar and add the warm (room temperature) water.
3. Knead well for at least 5 minutes. When the dough gets sticky add more flour.
4. Leave the dough to rise in a warm place for one hour or more.
5. Knead the dough again a few times and put it in an oiled pan.
6. If you want to add sesame seeds to the top, smear the top of the dough with water first so they'll stick better.
7. Bake it for 45-50 minutes at 180 C or 350°F.
