Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Add the yeast and sugar to the warm milk and stir; let sit for 3-5 minutes until foamy.
- In a mixer bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, 2 cups of bread flour, seeds, and salt.
- Add the milk/yeast mixture, canola oil, and honey.
- Use the dough hook on low speed to mix, scraping down sides as needed.
- Slowly add up to another cup of bread flour until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball.
- Let the dough knead with the dough hook on low for 5 minutes.
Rising
- Remove the bowl from the mixer, spray the dough with non-stick spray, cover with a towel, and let rise for an hour or until doubled.
- Spray two bread pans with non-stick spray and sprinkle a few seeds in the bottom.
- Punch down the dough, divide into two pieces, shape into loaves, and place in the prepared pans.
- Cover and allow to rise for an additional 30-45 minutes until doubled.
Baking
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Brush the egg wash over the bread and sprinkle with additional seeds if desired.
- Bake for 28-30 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- Remove from pans and allow to cool completely on a rack before slicing.
Notes
Slice thicker for open-faced meals or thinner for snacks. Pairs well with nut butter, eggs, and lean meats.
