- 450 gr./16 oz./ 1 pound warm water
- 1/2 teaspoon date syrup (optional)
- 500 gr./17.6 oz./1.1 pound whole wheat meal*
- 50 gr./1.8 oz./1/4 cup sunflower seeds

- 50 gr./1.8 oz. ground flax seeds
- 1–2 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 2 tablespoon vinegar
- additional sunflower and/or pumpkin seeds for sprinkling at the bottom and top
Instructions
- Do not preheat the oven; dough goes into cold oven.
- In the large bowl of a standing mixer or Thermomix add water, yeast (+ honey) and mix briefly for 2 minutes to dissolve yeast. (If you have a Thermomix then blend at 37°C/speed 1 for 2 minutes).
- Add all other ingredients in the order mentioned (except for additional seeds).
- Knead for 3 minutes in your food processor/Thermomix or use a mixer with a dough hook.
- This should result in a smooth yet sticky, stringy dough.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle some seeds on it.
- Put dough into the baking sheet (lined with parchment paper).
- Sprinkle again with some seeds on top.
- Pop into a cold oven and bake for 50 minutes at 340 °F/170 °C in a convection oven or for 60 minutes at 390 °F /200 °C in a regular oven.
- Let bread cool down for some minutes before you transfer it to a cooling rack. It’s important to let it cool down completely before you store it in your bread box, refrigerator or freezer.
Notes
- *Instead of whole wheat flour you can also use whole spelt flour, rye flour or a combination of it. The healthiest approach would be to grind the grains on your own.
- Instead of date sugar you could use also honey, coconut sugar or maple syrup
