Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose or bread flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup Quaker Oats
  • 1/4 cup shelled sunflower seeds
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast or 2 1/2 teaspoons
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • How to do it:
    1. In a large bowl, mix 1 cup flour, whole wheat flour, oats, sunflower seeds, salt, and yeast; set aside.
    2. In a saucepan over low heat, heat milk, water, 2 tablespoons honey, and butter until hot to the touch, about 125°F. Stir into the dry mixture adding 1 cup additional flour to make a stiff batter. The batter will be very stiff and sticky. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
    3. Stir vigorously about 1 minute; then turn into a greased 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan.
    4. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
    5. Preheat oven to 375°F.
    6. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
    7. Remove from pan and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon honey. Allow to cool before slicing.

    Yield: 1 loaf.
