Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your bread bakes evenly from the start.

Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, salt, and baking powder. Ensure the mixture is well-blended for a consistent dough.

Prepare the wet mixture: In another bowl, mix the warm water with honey (or maple syrup) until well combined. This liquid mixture will moisten the dry ingredients.

Mix the dough: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but hold its shape.

Add optional ingredients: If you desire extra flavor and texture, fold in optional chopped nuts or dried fruits. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Prepare the loaf pan: Transfer the dough to a greased loaf pan, smoothing the top to ensure even baking.

Bake the bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The bread is ready when it’s golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and serve: Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack. Once slightly cooled, slice and enjoy!
