1. Tip the flour, seeds, yeast and salt into a large bowl. Mix the water, oil and honey in a jug, then pour into the dry mix, stirring all the time to make a soft dough. If it feels sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour.
2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 mins, until the dough no longer feels sticky, sprinkling with a little more flour as you need it.
3. Oil a 1.2-litre loaf tin and put the dough in the tin, pressing it in evenly. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise for 1 hr, until it springs back when you press it with your finger. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
4. Make eight slashes across the top of the loaf, brush with water and sprinkle alternately with poppy and sesame seeds. Bake for 30-35 mins until the loaf is risen and brown. Tip it out onto a cooling rack and leave to cool.

  This recipe turned out well. The loaf should only have had one rising, but despite reading the instructions, I let it rise in the bowl (old baking habits die hard). So, I had to let it have a second, shorter rise in the tin. It still came out fine. I may have overdone the topping of seeds because they bounced off when I turned the loaf out and when my overeager OH sliced it as soon as it came out of the oven. I used two tsp of fast action yeast. I will try the recipe again and this time follow the instructions! It will probably be even better.

  I used half white and half mixed grain flour, the children complain it is too 'seedy' otherwise. Very tasty and quick to do if you follow the instructions!
