Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup mixed seeds sunflower, sesame, linseed, pumpkin
  • 3 tablespoons bran
  • 2 tablespoons wheat germ
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon molasses treacle or honey
  • 3 1/3 cups milk

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Add the treacle and stir in enough of the milk to give a wet, almost sloppy mixture.
  • Pour into a well oiled large loaf tin and bake in an oven preheated 400°F (200°C) for 20 mins until risen.
  • Reduce the heat to 325°F (170°C) and bake for a further hour.
  • Run a knife around the tin and ease the bread out. If it sounds hollow when tapped at the bottom it is cooked, if not, return it to the oven for 10-15 mins.
  • Cool the bread on a cooling rack. Enjoy fresh with butter. Store covered at room temperature for 3-4 days.
