No-Fuss Seed Bread

My family and I love homemade bread, and my husband got me a bread machine for Christmas a couple of years ago which makes the whole process that much easier (though I didn’t throw out my bread pans – there are still times I like doing it the old fashioned way!).

For Labor Day, take a load off with this yummy Seed Bread, done in the bread machine:

3/4 cup water
4 teaspoons honey
4 teaspoons canola oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups bread flour
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons flax seed
4 teaspoons sesame seeds
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

Roast seeds on a baking sheet in a 350 degree F oven for 4 minutes; let cool completely. This step is optional, the seeds can be added un-roasted.

Place ingredients in the bread machine pan in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select Basic bread cycle, and Start.
