Ingredients

• 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour or bread flour

• 1 cup (240 ml) warm water

• 1 tbsp sugar or honey

• 1 tbsp instant yeast (or 2¼ tsp)

• 1 tsp salt

• 2–3 tbsp vegetable oil

• ½–1 cup mixed seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, flax, sesame, etc.)
  (You can use just sunflower seeds like in the picture.)

🥣 Instructions

1. Prepare the dough

1. In a mixing bowl, add warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

2. Add flour, salt, oil, and seeds.

3. Mix with a spoon until everything is well combined — no kneading needed.

4. Cover the bowl and let it rise for 40–60 minutes, or until doubled.

2. Transfer to a glass baking bowl

1. Grease a round glass bowl or heat-safe container with oil.

2. Pour the risen dough inside.

3. Smooth the top with a wet spoon.

4. Sprinkle extra seeds on top (optional).

5. Let it rise again for 20 minutes.

3. Bake

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F.

2. Bake for 35–45 minutes, depending on bowl size.

3. The top should be golden brown and firm.

4. Let it cool in the bowl for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely before slicing.

🌟 Tips for Best Results

• Use bread flour for a firmer, chewier texture.

• Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the dough for extra softness.

• For a darker crust, bake the last 5 minutes without the bowl lid (if using a lidded container).

• This bread is great with butter, cheese, or for sandwiches.
