Although I found this recipe in an old cookbook, the hearty flavor appeals to all generations. It's a nice alternative to ordinary whole wheat bread.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread didn't rise properly. It was a bit flat and dense.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread didn't turn out as well as I hoped. It was a bit dry and crumbly.

I'm not usually a fan of sunflower seeds, but they were surprisingly good in this bread. The bread was moist and flavorful, and the sunflower seeds added a nice crunch.
