Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups warm water
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 2 Tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 Tablepoons dry milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons yeast

Instructions
 

  • Depending on your bread machine, your method might be different, but in mine you start with the liquids and layer.

  • Add the ingredients in the order listed. I add the sunflower seeds after the dough is together and check to make sure that they all get incorporated. Sometimes they will get stuck in the corners and need a little help. Quality control is in on the prowl. I see and arm and a leg.

  • Put the dough in a loaf pan and let rise for about 20-30 minutes. Or until it looks like this.

  • Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. When the bread is done it will be golden brown and have a hollow sound when tapped.
