Ingredients

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup warm milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon canola or vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ⅓ cup sunflower seeds

For Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Sunflower seeds for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  • Combine honey, milk, sugar, salt, yeast, oil and egg in the bowl of a stand mixer.
    Add in flour and sunflower seeds and mix just until dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Pour dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover and let rise about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • Shape risen dough into an oval (batard shape) and place in a lightly greased 8 x 4-inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30-40 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Brush the top of the loaf with melted butter and sprinkle sunflower seeds on top. Bake loaf for about 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool completely on cooling rack before slicing or serving.
