This homemade soft multigrain bread is prepared with multigrain hot cereal mix, such as 5 grain, 7 grain or 10 grain cereal. Whole or quick oats are an excellent option, too. It’s soft and fluffy like regular white sandwich bread, but has a hearty and satisfying flavor. Either instant or active-dry yeast work and you can even turn this dough into multigrain rolls.
Learn to bake homemade bread. I’ve noticed that’s a common baking goal at the start of each year. Today I’m sharing a new homemade bread recipe, one I’ve been perfecting for months. Using my regular white sandwich bread as the starting point for this new variation, I finally mastered a multigrain bread that’s both soft and sturdy. If you love homemade bread and crave added texture, you’ll enjoy this multigrain loaf. Bonus: You can use this dough for homemade rolls, too!
Soft Multigrain Bread Details
- Flavor: Slightly nutty with an earthy, satisfying flavor similar to whole wheat bread. A little brown sugar adds mild sweetness.
- Texture: This wholesome bread is wonderfully soft without being flimsy. It’s great for sandwiches, but perfectly satisfying plain or with a spread of butter.
- Ease: I categorize this as an intermediate baking recipe. The dough requires an extra step in the very beginning—soaking those grains in water. If you read the directions before starting, you’ll be set for success. Take your time and if you’re new to baking with yeast, review my Baking with Yeast Guide and How to Knead Dough posts first. Lots of helpful information there.
- Time: Between preparing the dough, both rises, and baking, set aside at least 4-5 hours to complete this recipe. But keep in mind that most of the time is hands off as the dough rises. You can even get started on the dough the night before.
If you love wholesome, hearty homemade bread like this, you’ll enjoy no knead honey oat bread and no knead seeded oat bread recipes too.
Video Tutorial: How to Make Soft Multigrain Bread
We need a careful blend & ratio of ingredients to produce a grain loaf that (1) rises tall, (2) maintains a soft fluffy texture, and (3) has legitimate structure for sturdy slices. The ingredients are practically the same as this sandwich bread, but we’re skipping the milk, using hot boiling water, adding grain cereal mix and seeds, slightly reducing the butter, and swapping regular sugar for brown sugar. Took lots of tweaking to perfect.
Key Ingredients You Need & Why
- Multigrain Hot Cereal Mix or Oats: If you read anything in this post, have it be this. This recipe starts with multigrain cereal, such as 5 grain, 7 grain or 10 grain cereal. You can also use whole or quick oats, but I do not recommend steel cut. There are many variations of hot cereal available in grocery stores—a multigrain version may include rye, barley, oats, whole wheat, and/or more. Honestly any grain cereal you mix with hot water works assuming there’s no flavors or sugars added (for example, don’t use brown sugar cinnamon oatmeal mix). If you can’t find any multigrain hot cereals at the store, you can purchase online—or just use plain oats. I really like this 7 grain + flax seed hot cereal. Multigrain baby cereal works too.
- Boiling Water: Just as you would make the hot cereal to eat, mix it with hot water. Use 1 and 3/4 cups (420ml) boiling water, then let the mixture cool until a digital thermometer reads about 110°F (43°C). This usually takes 20 minutes. If it’s too hot, the heat will kill the yeast.
- Brown Sugar: Sugar feeds the yeast, increases its activity, and tenderizes the dough. You can use regular white granulated sugar, but brown sugar was especially tasty in this loaf.
- Butter: To make a soft bread, you need fat in the dough. Butter promises a soft and flavorful loaf. 3 Tablespoons is plenty.
- Flour: If you have both bread flour and all-purpose flour on hand, I recommend using bread flour. All-purpose flour definitely works, but you get a sturdier and more bread-like texture from bread flour. I love using whole wheat flour when I can, but this dough is not fit for all whole wheat flour. In my recipe testing, I found that similar to homemade English muffins, replacing up to 1 cup of the bread/all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour worked just fine. The bread was a bit denser, but had great flavor. I usually make it with 3 cups of bread flour and 1/3 cup whole wheat flour. If you wish to use all whole wheat flour, follow my recipe for whole wheat bread instead.
Add-In Options
Add-ins are completely optional, but I encourage seeds and/or nuts for a little texture. I usually use sunflower seeds. Other options include chopped pecans or walnuts, pepitas, raisins, dried cranberries, or a blend of these. You could also throw in smaller seeds such as chia, flax, or sesame. See recipe note below before starting.
Step-by-Step Photos
Soak the grain cereal in the boiling water, as pictured above.
Below left: After it cools down, whisk in the yeast and brown sugar. Below right: After 5-10 minutes, you’ll notice foam or bubbles on the surface. This means the yeast is active and ready. Note that the hot cereal that I use contains flax seeds so that’s what you’re seeing floating on top!
The dough will feel heavy. As instructed in the recipe below, knead it before letting it rise. If you’re new to bread-baking, my How to Knead Dough tutorial will be helpful here.
Below left: After you make and knead the dough, let it rise until doubled in size. Below right: Punch it down to release the air, then place on a lightly floured work surface.
Roll it out into an 8×15-inch rectangle:
Below left: Roll it up tightly starting with the 8-inch side, so you have an 8-inch roll to fit into your 9×5 inch loaf pan. (Unlike cinnamon rolls where you roll up the dough starting with the larger side.) Below right: Let it rise until it’s 1-2 inches above the rim of the pan.
Look at this height!
Bake until golden brown:
How do I test for doneness? Give the loaf a light tap. If it sounds hollow, it’s done. For a more accurate test, the bread is done when an instant read thermometer reads the center of the loaf as 195–200°F (90–93°C).
This multigrain bread is phenomenal when sliced and served warm. The exterior is crisp and crusty while cloaking a hearty, yet fluffy crumb inside. The whole slice is just so, so satisfying and cozy. This is definitely a homemade bread to try!
If you happen to have any leftovers, day old bread is perfect for soaking up flavors in an easy breakfast casserole.
Can I Make This Into Rolls?
I thought you’d ask! I tested this dough to make multigrain rolls and it worked wonderfully. Not quite as soft as regular dinner rolls and not quite as heavy as whole wheat dinner rolls. I will say that I preferred the multigrain sandwich bread because it had a little more texture from the crust. Served warm with a pat of butter, however, the rolls were fantastic. See recipe note for instructions. Though I haven’t tested it, I imagine you could use this dough to make 3-4 bread bowls, too.
Multigrain AND multipurpose!

Description
This is wholesome multigrain bread with an irresistibly soft and fluffy interior. For best success, take the time to review the recipe notes before starting. Though not required, an instant read thermometer is helpful in a few of these steps.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (60g) dry multigrain cereal mix or old-fashioned whole rolled oats (see note)
- 1 and 3/4 cups (410ml) boiling water
- 2 and 1/4 teaspoons (7g) instant or active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
- 3 Tablespoons (37g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- 3 Tablespoons (43g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3 and 1/3 cups (433g) bread flour (spooned and leveled), plus more as needed and for hands/work surface
- optional: 1/2 cup (60g) sunflower seeds, chopped nuts, pepitas, raisins, or dried cranberries
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Place cereal mix in a large heatproof bowl (you can also use the bowl of your stand mixer). Pour boiling water on top. Let the mixture cool until a digital thermometer reads about 110°F (43°C). This usually takes 20 minutes. Pay attention to the temperature because if it’s too hot, it will kill the yeast. If it became too cool, however, it’s not a problem—the dough may just take a few extra minutes to rise.
- Whisk the yeast, sugar, and all of the warm water/cereal mixture in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or paddle attachment. Cover and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes or until foamy and bubbly on the surface.
- Add the butter, salt, and 1 cup (about 130g) flour. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula, then add another cup of flour. Beat on medium speed until relatively incorporated (there may still be chunks of butter). Add all of the remaining flour and the seeds/nuts (if using), then beat on medium speed until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 2 minutes. If it seems too sticky, add more flour, 1 Tablespoon at a time until it begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. *If you do not own a mixer, you can mix this dough with a large wooden spoon or silicone spatula. It will take a bit of arm muscle!*
- Knead the dough: Keep the dough in the mixer and beat for an additional 3-5 full minutes, or knead by hand on a lightly floured surface for 3-5 full minutes. (If you’re new to bread-baking, my How to Knead Dough video tutorial can help here.) If the dough becomes too sticky during the kneading process, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of flour at a time on the dough or on the work surface/in the bowl to make a soft, slightly tacky dough. Do not add more flour than you need because you do not want a dry dough. After kneading, the dough should still feel a little soft. Poke it with your finger—if it slowly bounces back, your dough is ready to rise. You can also do a “windowpane test” to see if your dough has been kneaded long enough: tear off a small (roughly golfball-size) piece of dough and gently stretch it out until it’s thin enough for light to pass through it. Hold it up to a window or light. Does light pass through the stretched dough without the dough tearing first? If so, your dough has been kneaded long enough and is ready to rise. If not, keep kneading until it passes the windowpane test.
- 1st Rise: Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil or nonstick spray. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides in the oil. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise in a relatively warm environment for 1-2 hours or until double in size. (I always let it rise on the counter. Takes about 2 hours. For a tiny reduction in rise time, see my answer to Where Should Dough Rise? in my Baking with Yeast Guide.)
- Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Shape the bread: When the dough is ready, punch it down to release the air. Lightly flour a work surface, your hands, and a rolling pin. Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 8×15 inches. It does not have to be perfect– in fact, it will probably be rounded on the edges. That’s ok! Roll it up into an 8 inch log and place in the prepared loaf pan.
- 2nd Rise: Cover shaped loaf with aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or a clean kitchen towel. Allow to rise until it’s about 1-2 inches above the top of the loaf pan, about 1 hour. (See photo above for a visual.)
- Adjust oven rack to a lower position and preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). (It’s best to bake the bread towards the bottom of the oven so the top doesn’t burn.)
- Bake the bread: Bake for 35-40 minutes– if you notice the top browning too quickly during bake time, loosely tent the pan with aluminum foil. How to test for doneness– give the loaf a light tap. If it sounds hollow, it’s done. For a more accurate test, the bread is done when an instant read thermometer reads the center of the loaf as 195°F-200°F (90°C-93°C).
- Remove from the oven and allow bread to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Feel free to let it cool completely before slicing, too.
- Cover leftover bread tightly and store at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
Notes
- Freezing Instructions: This dough isn’t ideal for freezing. The dough has a hard time rising after thawing. Instead, try the overnight instructions (next) or freeze the baked loaf. To freeze the baked loaf, allow the bread to cool completely, then freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature, then reheat as desired.
- Overnight Instructions: Prepare the recipe through step 7. Cover the shaped bread tightly and refrigerate for up to about 15 hours. At least 2 hours before you need the bread the next day, remove from the refrigerator, keep covered, and allow to rise on the counter for about 1 hour before baking. Alternatively, you can let the dough have its 1st rise in the refrigerator overnight. Cover the dough tightly and place in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours. Remove from the refrigerator and allow the dough to fully rise for 2 more hours. Continue with step 6.
- Special Tools (affiliate links): Electric Stand Mixer | 9×5-inch Loaf Pan | Rolling Pin | 7 Grain Hot Cereal
- Grain Cereal: Use dry multigrain cereal that you would use to make hot cereal, such as 5 grain, 7 grain, or 10 grain cereal. You can also use quick or whole oats, but I do not recommend steel cut oats. There are many variations of hot cereal available in grocery stores– a multigrain version may include rye, barley, oats, whole wheat, and/or more. Honestly any grain cereal you mix with hot water works assuming there’s no flavors or sugars added (for example, don’t use brown sugar cinnamon oatmeal mix). If you can’t find any multigrain hot cereals at the store, you can purchase online– or just use plain oats. I really like this 7 grain + flax seed hot cereal. Multigrain baby cereal works too.
- Yeast: You can use active-dry or instant yeast. The instructions are the same no matter which you use.
- Flours: If you have both bread flour and all-purpose flour on hand, I recommend using bread flour. All-purpose flour definitely works, but you get a sturdier and more bread-like texture from bread flour. I love using whole wheat flour when I can, but this dough is not fit for all whole wheat flour. In my recipe testing, I found that replacing up to 1 cup (around 130g) of the bread/all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour worked just fine. The bread was a bit denser, but had great flavor. I usually make it with 3 cups of bread flour and 1/3 cup whole wheat flour.
- Seeds/Add-Ins: The pictured loaf was prepared with 1/2 cup (60g) of sunflower seeds. I love extra flavor and texture, so I’ve been increasing that amount to 2/3 cup (80g). Use any of the suggested add-ins like sunflower seeds, pecans, walnuts, pepitas, raisins, dried cranberries, or a blend of these. If you want to use smaller seeds, such as poppy, chia, flax, or sesame, I recommend reducing the amount to 2 or 3 Tablespoons. You could, however, blend these smaller seeds with larger seeds/nuts/dried fruit for a total of 1/2 or 2/3 cup (60 or 80g).
- Multigrain rolls: Make the dough as written above through the first rise (steps 1-5), then follow steps 5-10 in my dinner rolls recipe. Bake time is 25-26 minutes.
- If You Want to Top with Oats or Seeds: If you want to top the dough with oats or seeds prior to baking, carefully brush the dough after the 2nd rise (step 8) with 1 egg white beaten with 1 Tbsp water, then sprinkle 2 Tbsp of oats or seeds on top. Neither will stick without the egg white brushed on first. I did this with the pictured rolls.
- Doubling this recipe: For best results, I recommend making two separate batches of dough. However, if you want to double the recipe all in 1 mixing bowl, double all of the ingredients except for the yeast. Use 2 and 1/4 teaspoons yeast. This amount of dough may overwhelm your stand mixer, so I recommend mixing the dough with a large wooden spoon or silicone spatula instead. It will take a bit of arm muscle.
I make this recipe every couple of days now, we don’t buy store bought bread anymore this is so excellent and tasty, great for sandwiches or toast, perfect to dip into soups and stews.
However, I found my bread pan too small, so I bought a bigger load pan, and Ive been incrementally scaling this recipe up by weight…. I’ve discovered that the grams and volume measurement don’t seem to work the way I expected… I scaled the recipe up to 1.5 by weight, and found that 11g of dry active yeast is 2 and 1/4 teaspoons. I’m guessing I can’t trust my measuring tools, and maybe the recipe isnt metric cups, but coincidentally it made the perfect loaf anyway.
This has become my go to bread recipe! It’s so easy to make and smells wonderful while it bakes. It is delicious and definitely worth the time. Thank you for another perfect recipe, Sally!
Really like the bread but it was a tad soft for me, made it hard to slice. Will more kneading help that?
Hi Jason, when slicing, make sure the bread is fully cooled, otherwise it may be too soft and hard to slice as you mention. Also make sure to spoon and level (instead of scooping) to avoid packing in too much flour into your measuring cups – or use a kitchen scale. You can read more about properly measuring baking ingredients in this post.
I loved this recipe! I did add a bit of half and half to my 7 grain cereal only because I bake this as low sodium and by omitting the salt the 1/2 and 1/2 gives it a better flavor. It always turns out delicious!! Sally’s Baking recipes are the best!!!!
Amazing!! Used this recipe (with quick oats and chia seeds, and 1/3 cup wholewheat flour) to make 8 large sandwich buns and they are DIVINE. I’m new to bread making so each time it works it feels like magic! I was so proud of these buns I kept talking to them and congratulating them on being awesome. Did an egg wash and sprinkled everything bagel seasoning on them, and they’re delish – light and fluffy and yum. Going to make another batch right away!
My favourite bread recipe! This is my family’s go-to bread recipe. I’ve made it dozens of times, and it’s always perfect! Thank you so much for sharing!
This recipe and its accompanying explanations is stellar. I have been baking for many years but often look for something new, so this morning I set out on an internet quest for a particular kind of bread: a light and fluffy, wholesome loaf. I chose this one, printed it out, and now I am delighted to read all the enthusiastic reviews. Why? I suppose I like to believe that my knowledge of baking made it easier to pull a great recipe from among the many. I’ll be baking two loaves tomorrow, one for me and my family, and one for my neighbor.
Another perfect recipe! I followed it as written, including the option of substituting 1/3 cup of whole wheat flour, and it turned out perfectly. I’m new to baking bread and I was worried that making multigrain bread with my lack of bread making experience would result in a too-dense or cardboard texture bread but this bread has just the right consistency y. It is solid enough to maintain it’s structure when you want to slice it but still light and fluffy. I don’t have a stand mixer, I used the hook attachments that came with my hand mixer to mix the dough and then kneaded it for 2 minutes before leaving it to rise. Thanks for sharing another keeper of a recipe and making bread making less intimidating.
Hey Sally, I want to try this recipe but what I can substitute the butter for?
Hi Krissy, butter gives us a soft and flavorful loaf. We haven’t tested it, but you could try substituting a vegan butter like earth balance.
WOW! Seriously, this is the best bread I’ve ever made! I did the 3 cups of bread flour + ⅓ cup of whole wheat flour. I also subbed the butter with vegan butter to keep the recipe vegan. The result was just absolutely amazing, fluffy, soft, delicious bread! I can’t believe I made something that looks and tastes like it came from a professional bakery. Definitely making this regularly!
Great recipe! I make it once a week now!
My boyfriend keeps me stocked up in pecans so that I can make him this bread. I make it with oats and pecans and sesame seeds on top. He says it is THE best bread. What an amazing recipe!
This bread is awesome!. Im a beginner, and it turned out beautifully. I used 1/3 cup of whole wheat flour , as it gives a nicer flavor. Thank you for this recipe.
This recipe is great! The recipe was easy to follow and baking hints helped so much! I’ve added some seeds to it for a little extra crunch. I love Sally’s recipes. Everything I’ve made using them has turned out perfectly. Keep those recipes coming! You have a big fan
I love this recipe, it’s my new go-to base! Thoughts on enhancing it with a bit of sourdough starter in addition to the yeast? I’ve been playing around w sourdough as well and had heard yeast bread recipes can be enhanced with some starter but no idea how much. Suggestions? I have lots of starter…and love this recipe more than the sourdough recipes I’ve been trying.
Hi Paula, we haven’t tested this bread recipe using sourdough starter but let us know if you do!
Great recipe! So happy to find this one. It will be my go to bread recipe from now on! Came together perfectly. I chose to knead it by hand. I find I seem to add to much extra flour if I use my stand mixer. It rose really quickly. I used SAF instant yeast for the first time – not sure it that’s why. My loaf came out so soft and fluffy and YUM!
Thanks for a great recipe!!
Would this recipe work if I added caraway seeds to make rye bread?
We haven’t tested adding caraway seeds to this recipe but let us know how it goes if you do!
This bread is excellent! I tried it with Bob’s Red Mill Oat Bran Hot cereal. It turned out soft and delicious. Will be making it again!
I tried this recipe and I’m in love! This is the best bread I have ever made. I usually make wheat or wheat/whole wheat bread at home but wanted to try multigrain and it was way way better than the other breads I have tried in the past. I did half bread flour and half whole wheat and added dough enhancer, vital wheat gluten since I was adding whole wheat and it came out amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. This is going to be my go-to bread from now on.
I like to bake with white whole wheat as well…. How much dough enhancer did you add? Thanks!
Two words…FREAKIN’ AMAZING!
The recipe is perfectly written with easy to follow instructions, and it came our perfect and delicious.
My oven took it about 37 minutes to reach a temp of 197° and it was perfect. I used Bob’s Red Mill Muesli and added 1/2 finely chopped walnuts. Will definitely be making this again.
I pretty much love every recipe I’ve ever tried from your site. One delicious way to use this bread is to make French toast waffles! Soak slices of this bread in egg, milk, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla then cook in a waffle iron until toasty brown. My husband is a butter/ powdered sugar guy but I eat them like a piece of toast, sometimes with a little jam or just plain. So good !!
Hi Sally. Thank you for yet another wonderful recipe. I’ve made this twice now and although I played a bit with the proportions of white whole wheat to bread flour and the amount of multi-grain cereal, it came out perfect each time. This is an incredibly forgiving recipe that comes together very easily and much faster than expected! This last time I used 2 2/3 cup bread flour to 2/3 cup white whole wheat (I wanted to up the whole wheat content) and the texture is great, not dense or heavy. I do have a couple of questions, though. I generally bake by weight instead of volume (especially bread) but have noticed that my weights vs. volumes do not quite correspond to yours (total flour weight was slightly more at 450g) and the cereal was about 70g for just under a half cup (10 grain cereal mix). Which is better to go by? Also, do you use kosher salt or table salt in your baking?
I never thought of myself as a bread baker, but thanks to you (and sandwich bread, multigrain bread, pizza dough, bagels and focaccia), I can now!
Hi Shelly, So glad you loved this bread! We use table salt in all of our recipes unless otherwise noted.
Thanks Michelle. Any thoughts on the weight vs. volume questions?
Hi Shelly, use 1/2 cup. The weight will differ across brands and types of multigrain hot cereal since some grains weigh more than others. Anywhere between 40-80 grams would be fine.
Can you make this is a bread machine?
Hi Joni, we haven’t tested it. Some readers make our regular sandwich bread using a bread machine with no problem, so we can’t see why this wouldn’t work too. Let us know if you try!
I have a pullman loaf pan. It is 13 x 4. Could I use that pan for this recipe or would I need to make more for that pan?
This recipe, as written, may fit just fine but we haven’t tested it to be certain. Let us know how it goes!
Thank you for this recipe, as written is my new favorite bread. I love the texture, it’s so soft. I often make four mini loaves with my silicone pan. I have used the dough cycle on my bread machine but have not tried to bake it in there.
I like the longer pan better. Easier to slice.
Thank you for this recipe! My bread came out soft, light like a cloud, and delicious
I’ve made this so many times now, with different types of hot cereal / oats combinations. It’s perfect every time! Just made my first round of rolls from this recipe… I love how many different options there are to this, it’s so adaptable to whatever taste you’re looking for. Thanks for the great recipe!!
Has anyone tried to make this in a bread machine
yes i did in my bread machine yesterday . turned out next to perfect. i just had toast and jam. delish! i mixed the grain cereal into the flour .used very hot water then added rest of ingredients in order then flour mixture then yeast last
My wife said this may be the best bread she’s ever had. I used 1/2 cup Ezekiel 4:9 golden Flax, 1/4 cup quick oats for the base, added a little more hot water up front, and then a little more flour at the end to bring the dough together. Used pepitas for the crunch. I wonder what non-dairy fat I could replace the butter with? Anyway, thanks for an amazing keeper recipe!
Just use vegan butter. That’s what I did.
Made this today . Nice easy dough to work with. Added 1/2c mixed seeds to dough, topped with oatmeal and some everything but the bagel seasoning.
This is my new favorite bread. Make at least twice a week. Recipe perfect as is.
Love this multigrain bread! I followed your tip and used 3 cups white flour + 1/3 whole wheat. I didn’t even notice the whole wheat! Neither did my kids 🙂 the cereal I used left a few really hard kernels throughout though, is this normal or just the brand I used? Either way, I’ll certainly make it again.
This recipe rocked. I doubled the recipe and used ancient grains from Trader Joe’s and raw sunflower seed from Trader Joe’s too. Bread is so much easier to make in the warm summer months. Stayed fresh for so long. Yum! Thank you. It took me this long to find a recipe that incorporated grains and seeds yet was moist and fluffy. You nailed it!
Hey, so I’ve been making bread for a while now.. usually the same recipe. This is my first time branching out to a new recipe that worked out perfectly for the first time.!The bread was soft, chewy, sturdy, and absolutely delicious. (Pretty too!)
I made it dairy free with coconut oil instead of butter. I used rolled oats, bread flour, and 1/3 cup of whole wheat flour. For texture I used flax seeds.
I am planning on using this bread for the future as my sandwich and avocado toast bread. I would like to try making it a sweeter bread too. I’m going to do some experimenting with sugar, cinnamon, and raisin and hope for the best.
Honestly, though this bread is delicious and worth the effort. I also do not have a stand-mixer with a bread hook so everything was done with a wooden spoon, muscle, hands, and patience.
This is my go-to bread recipe now. I’ve tried it a few different ways – with only chia seeds, with chia and flax, with chia, flax and sunflower seeds – and it’s a winner every time. Thank you so much for this!
