Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups whole wheat flour, 0.5 cup rolled oats, 0.5 cup mixed seeds, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon active dry yeast. Stir until well mixed.
Step 2
Pour in the 1.25 cups warm water and stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. The dough will be sticky; do not overmix.
Step 3
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour. The dough should look puffy and airy.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, shape it into a round loaf, and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Let cool completely before slicing.
