Very nice. I made a few changes. Soaked the seeds overnight in 150 ml of the water, which I think makes for a better texture. Used 400 g wholemeal flour and 100 g strong flour, to give a slightly better rise without losing much of the substance of the bread. And added about 25 g of roasted barley malt as I didn't have malted flour.

Yummy, stays moist for a couple of days.

This is beautiful bread and not at all solid or heavy. It doesn't need sugar. I used the full amount of water, which made a very wet dough. (To those who find the bread heavy, it may be because of adding flour to the dough as you knead). I left it to rise over night in the fridge and knocked it back and baked in the morning. Lovely.

First attempt at bread and it went really well. Very tasty and almost gone!

i have tried this recipe twice now. i love the flavour, but i cant get the texture right, it seems to turn out too moist.. a bit heavy. I thought of trying to use semi skimmed milk as i used whole milk so far. Does anyone have any suggestions

i made this bread for the first time was very nice everyone liked it i done it in a dutch oven which i think is much better i will try a tble spoon of sugar next time to see what difference it makes.

I make a slightly different version of this bread and to date, it's worked out well every time. I always use 1 tsp of sugar to help the yeast along and I add 15 mls (1 tbsp) of vegetable oil to the mix. The bread is dense but that is often the case with wholemeal bread and the seeds and nuts give a lovely texture. I find that splitting the mixture into 2 and making 2 oval loaves makes it easier to slice once baked and cooled.

It's really important that after the first proving and then knocking back the dough, you must let the dough prove and rise again before baking. I think this takes longer than 30 mins more like 45 mins. Failing to prove after knocking back is probably resulting in rock hard inedible bread. Only my thoughts.......

I made this for the first time and found it to be very solid, but my parner liked it

Still a novice in the art of bread making but this has to be the best ever! I don't have a bread maker and prefer to make my bread by hand.I find it very soothing and theraputic! I used Doves Farm Quick Yeast and added 1 tsp. of sugar.Lovely rich malty flavour, moist and the seeds add a lovely crunchy texture. My husband will have a big chunk of Walnut bread with some ripe Brie cheese and juicy black grapes for his pack-up tomorrow! YUM!

has anyone tried this with fresh yeast in a breadmaker and if so how much?

Absolutely fantastic bread. This is the first bread I've ever made, I had to watch some online videos first to get the technique right but it worked out beautifully. I added 1 tbsp sugar and a handful of pecans into the mix, yummy.

Not sure what went wrong, but bread was very heavy and virtually inedible

Excellent recipe! I've made this several times now and it comes out perfectly every time. The walnut and seeds give it a fantastic texture.

Wonderful recipe! Took a couple of attempts to get it right, but now I have the technique nailed! Just make sure you kneed it properly and let it rise properly too; I tend find it works well to let it rise for about an hour, knock it back and kneed it again, then let it rise for another half hour or so before finally putting it in the oven.

I also found that added a tablespoon of honey to the dough made it taste that much better.

Lovely bread - very easy to make in the breadmaker and just used a mix of seeds and nuts I had to hand - made several times now and great each time

Really great, really tasty - now living on it!

i have made this twice now - both times it ended up impenetrable on the outside (ie. very hard crust) and too doughy on the inside. Probably my own fault as I haven'd made bread for years. Any ideas where i went wrong (I follwed recipe to the letter)?

Very disappointing. Found the bread very heavy and solid. Not one of the best.

Really nice bread. Made some changes. Didn't have any hemp seeds so used sunflower. Also not that keen on walnuts so just up the amount of the other seeds. Also used a teaspoon of sugar and made it my magimix. Very pleased and will be making often.

I made this last night and was very pleased with the results. It is a solid bread and it is very tasty. I also added a tablespoon of sugar when I made the dough as suggested in previous comments.
