There is something deeply satisfying about pulling a golden, fragrant loaf out of the oven, especially when you made it entirely from scratch. This bread is built on sprouted whole wheat flour, which gives it a subtly nutty, earthy depth that regular sandwich bread just cannot match. Ground flaxseed works its way into the dough for a gentle boost of texture and richness, while a drizzle of olive oil keeps the crumb tender and the crust beautifully crisp. A scatter of rolled oats on top before baking adds a rustic, bakery-style finish that looks as good as it tastes. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, this loaf is a genuinely clean option — every ingredient is straightforward, with no hidden oils or nut-based additions to second-guess. The two-rise method takes a little patience, but it rewards you with a loaf that slices cleanly, toasts perfectly, and holds up to anything you pile on it. Let it cool on the rack before cutting in, and try not to eat half of it before it even makes it to the bread box.

Ingredients

12 servings

1 cup warm water (105–110°f / 40–43°c)
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
1 tbsp honey
3 cups sprouted whole wheat flour, plus more for dusting
1 tsp fine sea salt
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more for the bowl and pan
2 tbsp ground flaxseed
1 tbsp rolled oats, for topping (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the warm water, yeast, and honey in the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl). Stir briefly and let stand for 5–8 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the mixture smells yeasty.
2
Add the sprouted whole wheat flour, salt, olive oil, and ground flaxseed to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed with the dough hook for 2 minutes, then increase to medium and knead for 6–8 minutes, until the dough is smooth, slightly tacky, and pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl. (To knead by hand: turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.)
