Easy seed & grain loaf

I made this in my bread maker as I felt a bit lazy and didn't want to get my hands messy. I used 350g wholemeal flour and 150g white flour and added extra 50mls of water. Added a tablespoon each of pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds although the mix could have taken more in my opinion. I didn't have honey so added golden syrup in the same quantity. Put on a basic setting and three hours later a beautiful loaf appeared. Magic!

I've made this three times now, with variations of seeds and flour mixes and it turns out beautifully every time. I use the dough hook on my Kitchenaid to knead, as a shoulder problem prevents me from kneading by hand and I do punch it down after the first prove and then give it a second prove for about half an hour. Today am going to make it into rolls and add dill, at the request of my daughter, who can't get enough of this lovely bread. So easy!

Love this recipe - really easy, and tasty. Had it with goulash one night, and then it was just as nice toasted the next couple of days after. Kids like it too, even though there were seeds (usually off-putting for them!)

Made this bread today for family visiting for a meal. It was really easy to do and everyone agreed it was very tasty! Will definitely make this again!

Really easy to bake! Thanks :)

This looks great, though I'm confused as to why you don't need to punch the air out after the second prove?

I'm really exited to try this recipe. so glad I found this site, you have great recipes on here.

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.

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.

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.

yes we have made small rolls and use linseeds.sunflower seeds,poppy seeds and millet.also easily doubled up and also mixed half white and half wholemeal .rye etc

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???

my husband who is an occasional cook tried this and found it so easy that is now regularly made

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!

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.
