King Arthur'S 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
3 tablespoons olive oil
5 tablespoons honey (or molasses, or maple syrup)
3 1/2 cups king arthur organic whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon king arthur whole-grain bread improver (optional)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds, chopped
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast

Preparation

Combine all of the ingredients, and mix them till you have a shaggy dough.
Let the dough rest, covered, for 20 minutes, then knead till fairly smooth.
Allow the dough to rise, covered, for 1 to 2 hours, or until it's puffy and nearly doubled in bulk.
Gently deflate the dough, shape it into a log, and place it in a lightly greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch bread pan.
Cover the pan with a proof cover or lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow it to rise for about 1 hour, till it's crowned about 1 inch over the rim of the pan.
Bake the bread in a preheated 350\u00b0F oven for 45 minutes, tenting it lightly with aluminum foil for the final 20 minutes of baking.
