  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!

  Dead easy - just made it! Used white flour and just 1tbsp of poppy seeds. Great with tomato & mixed veg soup. Did someone tried to make it into small buns???

  Bought myself a new loaf tin today and tried this recipe out. Turned out brilliant! I'm barely keeping myself from devouring it. I used half strong white and half wholewheat, so it took another 100ml of water or something.

  Recipe was a breeze to make and turned out terrific. My husband kept raving about it how good it was and just as good as the expensive breads we "use to buy". I used a German grain mix which I bought in the supermarket (Australia) and it gave it a lovely texture. Will try to make bread rolls next time. This will be a staple in our diet from now on. Note that I used my mixer (with dough hook) to do the mixing but kneaded by hand. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! Another great recipe from Mary.

  I used this recipe to make my first ever loaf from scratch. The snow deterred me from going to the supermarket to the normal multi seeded loaf I buy, so I found this simple recipe and thought I'd give it a go. I did't have any sesame seeds to hand so I substituted those for a mix of a few sunflower, pumpkin and linseeds. The result was fantastic. A new Sunday morning ritual.
