Healthy and the simplest, I might say, no knead no yeast multi-seed bread that you can perfectly enjoy for breakfast or even for your sandwiches. All you need to do is mix with a wooden spoon (or a hand whisk) and bake, that's it. Use your favourite seeds and make it your own.

Recipe Highlights
In this recipe you'll find:
- whole grain flour

- natural fat
- lots of healthy seeds
Level - Ridiculously easy, minimum whisking by hand.
Taste and texture - Soft bread with loads of healthy seeds. Since this is a fast bread with no yeast, so it won't have that chewy texture of a yeasted kneaded bread.

Lets Talk Ingredients
Seeds - Use whatever seeds that you love, no problem at all. Just use the total amount as indicated in the recipe below.
Oil - I've improved the recipe by using extra virgin olive oil. You can use avocado oil, coconut oil or whichever you prefer.
Whole wheat flour - works the best for this recipe and I'm combining it with all purpose flour to achieve that soft textured bread with minimal effort.
TIP: Make it even healthier by swapping the same amount of all purpose flour with spelt flour.
Honey - I love the hint of sweetness in this bread. Use maple syrup or any other natural liquid sweetener that you like instead.
Egg - Works the best for this recipe. I've tried it with flax seeds egg but found the bread a bit too crumbly for my taste. If you can't have eggs and don't mind the change of texture, just know that it's doable with flax seeds egg.
Buttermilk - I make my own buttermilk, it's easier than having to buy some, store and not knowing what to do with the balance. My homemade vegan buttermilk also works for this recipe.
Can I Toast This Bread?
Yes, you can. I toast it all the time.
Having said that, just know that it takes a bit longer to get toasted. And also, be gentle when you're handling the toasted slice as this bread is soft when it's hot.
Don't get me wrong, it will have that crunchy toasted texture. It's just that it tends to break easily when it's hot.
