Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, bran, yeast and salt. Stir the honey and oil into the lukewarm water and pour it over the dry ingredients.
  2. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until you have a soft, elastic dough that no longer sticks to your hands.
  3. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place, until the dough has doubled in volume.
  4. Knock back the dough, shape it into a round or oblong loaf and place it on a tray lined with baking paper.
  5. Let rise for another 30 minutes, then preheat the oven to 200 °C. Make a few slashes on the surface and sprinkle with sunflower seeds.
  6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the base sounds hollow when tapped. Let cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Variations and tips

Seeded version. Add 30 g of flaxseeds and sesame seeds to the dough for a crunchier loaf.
