Seed & Grain Cottage Loaf Recipe

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, rolled oats, salt, and sugar.

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.

Cover the loaf pan with a kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
