Directions

In a large bowl, mix the flours, spices, and salt, incorporating them well.
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in 1/3 cup lukewarm water. Leave aside for a few minutes.
Add the yeast mixture into the flour bowl, add the rest of water, and mix until you obtain a sticky dough.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes uniform, soft, and elastic.
Roll the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel and set aside (in a warm place) for 1 hour so the dough can rise to around double its size.
Remove the dough from the bowl, add the seeds of your choice, and shape into a loaf shape. Transfer the dough to your Covered Bread Pan.
Drain the pre-soaked seeds from any excess water and place them on top of the dough.
Cover your loaf with the Bread Pan Cover and let it proof for another 30-40 minutes.
In the meantime, preheat the oven to 480º F.
Place the bread on the middle shelf and bake for 20-25 minutes (first 10 minutes with the cover and the remaining time without a cover).
Once baked, set aside to cool down before you cut the bread.
Enjoy with homemade garlic butter or other toppings of your choice!
