Hearty, golden, and packed with texture, this seeded whole grain loaf is the kind of bread that earns a permanent spot in your weekly rotation. Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia, and flaxseed are folded right into the batter, so every slice is loaded with crunch and nutty depth. The base is oat flour, which keeps things wholesome and naturally free from any hidden additives you might find lurking in store-bought loaves — no mystery stabilizers, no animal-derived thickeners, nothing you didn't put in the bowl yourself. A touch of turmeric and black pepper gives the crumb a warm, subtly earthy flavor that pairs beautifully with the honey and apple cider vinegar. The batter comes together quickly and bakes into a deeply golden loaf that holds its shape cleanly once cooled. Just be patient and let it rest on the rack before slicing — the crumb sets as it cools and rewards you with clean, satisfying slices perfect for toasting or topping with your favorite spread.
