1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar
3/4 cup water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons margarine, melted
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons flax seeds
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 tablespoons toasted wheat germ
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
2 cups whole wheat flour
4 cups bread flour

Steps:

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water.
Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
Combine buttermilk, butter or margarine, honey and the yeast mixture in a large bowl.
Add the salt, all of the seeds and the whole wheat flour and wheat germ.
Stir to combine.
Add the bread flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well with a wooden spoon after each addition.
When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 minutes.
Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with the oil.
Cover with a damp cloth and put in a warm place to rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves.
Place the loaves into the prepared pans.
Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
Bake at 375 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until the tops are brown and the bottom of a loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Makes 2 loaves.
