Seeded Honey Whole Grain Bread

This bread is best kneaded by hand (instead of a dough hook). Why? The seeds act as mini scissors and actually cut the strands of gluten when kneaded by an electric mixer.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup bulgur
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 to 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup instant potato flakes
  • 1/2 cup quick OR old-fashioned oats
  • 1 (2-1/4 tsp.) envelope Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Instant Yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons corn oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup sunflower seeds

Directions

  1. Pour boiling water over bulgur in a small bowl; set aside to cool.
