Molasses Seed Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup warm water
    1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
    1 tablespoon sugar
    1 tablespoon canola oil
    1 1/2 tablespoons molasses
    2 cups whole wheat flour
    1 1/2 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon kosher salt
    2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
    1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
    1 tablespoon caraway seed
Preparation
    Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit until frothy ~10 minutes.
    Add oil, molasses, and whole wheat flour and mix until full incorporated.
    Slowly add all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and salt. I usually use about 1.75 cups of the AP flour.
    Add in seeds.
    Knead in a mixer about 10 minutes, or longer if you're kneading by hand.
    Place into a greased bowl and let rise until double, about 1.5 hours.
    Deflate the dough and let rise again until double, about 50 minutes.
    Deflate dough and flatten with a rolling pin into a long rectangle, about 8 inches wide.
    Slowly roll the dough into an 8″ wide log, squeezing out all the excess air as you go.
    Pinch seams together and place seam side down into a 8x4\" loaf pan.
    Let rise about 30 minutes in loaf pan and preheat oven to 350.
    Bake about 35-40 minutes.
