Ingredients:

  • 3 1/4 cups warm water (110-115f degrees)
  • 2 (1/4 oz) packages active dry yeast
  • 1 1/4 cups bread flour
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1/3 cup honey (agave nectar has a low glycemic index, making it acceptable for diabetics to eat) or 1/3 cup agave nectar (agave nectar has a low glycemic index, making it acceptable for diabetics to eat)
  • 3 tsp salt
  • 5 1/2-6 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 -3 tbsp butter, melted (optional)

Directions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add warm water and yeast. Cover and let activate for 10 minutes.
  2. Add bread flour, canola oil, Agave, salt and 4 cups of whole wheat flour to the yeast mixture. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Mix in sunflower seeds. Slowly add whole wheat flour one cup at a time until you reach a firm dough.
  4. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a lightly warmed oven for 1 hour or until doubled in size (hint: Before I place the bread in the oven, I turn the oven on to 350F degrees and warm it for only a few seconds-20-seconds. You don't want the oven hot).
  5. Punch down the dough and divide into either two greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pans, or three greased 8 x 4-inch loaf pans. I like to put parchment on the very bottom of my pans for ease of turning out the loaves. Cover the loaves and let rise in a warm place for an additional 30 mins or until doubled in size.
  6. Bake at 350F degrees for 35 minutes, then brush on melted butter and continue to bake for 5 minutes more or until lightly browned.
  7. Remove from oven and brush on remaining melted butter. Turn out from pans and place on a wire rack to cool completely before cutting and serving.
