Greet your family with the sweet aroma of whole wheat bread, studded with sunflower seeds and sweetened with honey.

Sunflower Honey Bread

2 cups all-purpose or bread flour, divided use
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup shelled sunflower seeds
1 teaspoon salt
1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast or 2 1/2 teaspoons
1 cup milk
1/3 cup water
3 tablespoons honey, divided use
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 tablespoon wheat germ

1. In a large bowl, mix 1 cup flour, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, sunflower seed, salt, and yeast; set aside.
2. In a saucepan over low heat, heat milk, water, 2 tablespoons honey, and butter until hot to the touch, about 125°F. Stir into the dry mixture adding 1 cup additional flour to make a stiff batter. The batter will be very stiff and sticky. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
3. Stir vigorously about 1 minute; turn into a greased 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan.
4. Cover, let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 375°F.
6. Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes.
7. Remove from pan and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon honey and sprinkle on 1 tablespoon wheat germ. This bread will slice more smoothly after cooling.

Makes 1 loaf.
