Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water (105°F to 110°F)
  • 1½ tablespoons honey
  • 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3 cups whole-wheat flour
  • 1½ cups unbleached, all-purpose or bread flour
  • 2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup hulled sunflower seeds
  • ¼ cup flax seeds
  • 2 tablespoons wheat germ
  • 2 tablespoons flax oil or vegetable oil
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Preparation

  1. Stir together the warm water, honey and yeast in the Cuisinart® mixing bowl. Attach dough hook and let stand until mixture is foamy and bubbly, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. While yeast is proofing, combine flours, vital wheat gluten, salt, oats, seeds and wheat germ in a separate large bowl. Once the yeast mixture proofs, add the flax oil and flour mixture flour to the yeast mixture. Mix on Speed 2 to just combine. Increase to Speed 4 and knead, about 4 minutes. Dough should be smooth and spring back to the touch. If sticky, add 1 tablespoon of the white flour at a time until smooth. Alternatively, if the dough seems too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time.
  3. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
