Instructions:

Preparation: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, quick-cooking oats, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
-
Mixing: Add the honey to the dry ingredients mixture, and then gradually incorporate the plain yogurt. Stir until a sticky dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Kneading: Lightly knead the dough on a floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic. Avoid over-kneading, as this may result in a dense texture.
-
Shaping: Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan. Alternatively, divide the dough into smaller portions and place them in greased 6-cup mini loaf pans for individual servings.
-
Baking: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the large loaf for approximately 40 minutes, or until golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. For mini loaves, bake for about 25 minutes or until done.
-
Cooling: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
-
Serving: Serve this Brown Seed Bread warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with savory spreads like pate or a selection of cheeses. Enjoy the wholesome goodness of this bread as a healthy snack or accompaniment to your favorite meals.
Tips:
- For added flavor and texture, consider incorporating chopped nuts or dried fruits into the dough.
- Experiment with different seed combinations, such as flaxseeds or sunflower seeds, to customize the bread to your taste preferences.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer shelf life.
