I've tried other bread recipes, but this one is a staple in our home. I won $50 in a bake-off with a loaf that I had stored in the freezer. —Mickey Turner, Grants Pass, Oregon

Sunflower Seed & Honey Wheat Bread Recipe

Prep: 40 min. + rising Bake: 35 min. + cooling

Yield: 36 Servings

40 35 75

Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
3-1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
1/4 cup bread flour
1/3 cup canola oil
1/3 cup honey
3 teaspoons salt
6-1/2 to 7-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup sunflower kernels
3 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the bread flour, oil, honey, salt and 4 cups whole wheat flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in sunflower kernels and enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down; divide into three portions. Shape into loaves; place in three greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 3 loaves (12 slices each).

This bread was delicious and easy to make (2 pluses in my book). The taste is very good!!! Plus, I love that it makes three loaves. Will be making this one over and over again!

My Mom and I both love this recipe and have made it often. I sometimes increase the bread flour to make it a little taller, but the flavor of this bread is amazing, a #1 for me.

This makes great sandwiches and toast. I have used it to also make wonderful cinnamon rolls and cinnamon bread. I just left out the sunflower seeds.

Followed the recipe - too heavy and salty...will make again with decreased salt and increased bread flour

I'm still working on the adjustments for above 5,000 feet and will submit when I have it down, but did want to say this is one fantastic REAL whole wheat loaf. Full and flavor and nutrition and I don't care if it sinks in the middle - but I will get it corrected shortly because I make it once a week.

Awesome! My husband is my best critic, and he usually doesn't like the dry/denseness of my whole wheat breads. I followed this recipe to the T, and he absolutely LOVED it. I have to say it was intensly moist myself. THIS is my new whole wheat bread recipe now! :) Sheer Awesomeness!!

I absolutely love this bread! I made it a few days ago to go with a black bean pumpkin chili from TOH has well and it turned out wonderfully. I was so surprised how moist it was and very excited that it makes 3 loaves. I have tried many whole wheat recipes but they almost always had a blend of whole wheat and white flour and I try to keep as much white flour out of our diets. Every time I tried to make them with all whole wheat, they never turned out. This one was awesome my husband and kids devoured it. This is my new go to bread recipe. thank you so much!
