kathy's very healthy bread
(1 rating)
I got this recipe from a friend I worked with back in 1975 (Kathy Reiman). It makes 3 dense loaves of wheat bread and has sunflower seeds, wheat germ and brewer's yeast. I love it and have made it so many times over the years. It is a traditional yeast bread that requires kneading and rising so it is not quick to make. If you want a light bread this it not for you, but if you are looking for a filling, healthy bread this is one of the really good ones. Prep time includes rising time. Bread freezes well if well wrapped.

How To Make kathy's very healthy bread
-
1Mix yeast, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1/2 cup warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes. Add oil, egg, 1/4 cup honey, salt, and remaining water. Add 4 cups whole wheat flower and mix with mixer for 8-10 minutes. With mixer on low stir in remaining ingredients except remaining flour and sunflower kernals. Stir in as much of remaining flour as needed by hand to make a dough that is not sticky but also not dry. Knead dough for 6-8 minutes until elastic. Place in a well greased bowl and turn to coat all sides of dough. Cover with a towel and let rise until double in bulk, about 1 hour.
-
2Sprinkle sunflower seeds on top of dough. Punch down and knead to mix in seeds well. Separate dough into 3 equal sized balls and let rest, covered for 10 minutes. Shape each ball into a loaf and place in well greased, standard sized bread pan. Cover and let rise about 30 minutes.
-
3Place pans in COLD oven. Turn oven on to 400 degrees and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees and continue to bake for 25-35 minutes until loaves sound hollow when tapped. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack before removing from pan and cutting.
