Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, shelled
1/2 cup sunflower seeds, shelled
1 tablespoon flax seeds
8 cups high-gluten bread flour or unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup wheat bran
2 tablespoons instant yeast
2 tablespoons sea salt
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 3/4 cups water

Steps:

Roast all the seeds in a frying pan until they start crackling. Place in a bowl and when cool add the flour, bran, yeast and salt.
Add all the liquid ingredients, reserving i cup of water. Turn the dough onto a floured counter and knead for 10 to 12 minutes, adding up to a 1/4 cup of water if necessary. The dough should be elastic but not sticky. Return to a clean bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or more, depending on the temperature.
Divide into two cylinders and place in 4-by-8-inch or 5-by-10-inch loaf pans. Allow to rise until dough has doubled in size, 45 minutes or more. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes, until tapping the bottom of a loaf produces a hollow sound.
