HEALTHY EASY PEASY SEED LOAF
This is a REALLY easy+foolproof loaf to bake. Very healthy as well. I usually bake it in mini loaf tins and freeze it, and take it out the morning I require it - fresh for lunch. This was the first bread I baked and it came out perfect!

- TIPS: Once cooled, wrap in cling film, and freeze the loaves you do not require immediatly as home made yeast bread does not last long.
- Adjust time accordingly for smaller tins as they might require less than 1/2 the time.
- You can use a drop of choc brown colouring if you want really dark brown loaves.
- You could also sprinkle some wheat into the tins before putting the batter in.

Steps:
- Tip the flour, seeds, yeast and salt into a large bowl. Mix the water, oil and honey in a jug, then pour into the dry mix, stirring all the time to make a soft dough. If it feels sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 mins, until the dough no longer feels sticky, sprinkling with a little more flour as you need it.
- Oil a 1.2-litre loaf tin and put the dough in the tin, pressing it in evenly. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise for 1 hr, until it springs back when you press it with your finger. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
- Make eight slashes across the top of the loaf, brush with water and sprinkle alternately with poppy and sesame seeds. Bake for 30-35 mins until the loaf is risen and brown. Tip it out onto a cooling rack and leave to cool.

Tips:
- Use a variety of seeds: This will give your loaf a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include chia seeds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
- Soak the seeds before using: This will help them to soften and become more digestible. You can soak them overnight in water or for a few hours in yogurt or milk.
- Use a good quality flour: This will make a big difference in the texture of your loaf. Look for a flour that is high in protein, such as bread flour or whole wheat flour.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the loaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the loaf at a high temperature: This will give it a crispy crust and a soft, fluffy interior.
