- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- Combine buttermilk, butter, honey and the yeast mixture in a large bowl. Add the salt, all of the seeds and the wholemeal flour. Stir to combine. Add the bread flour, 50g (2 oz) or so at a time, mixing well with a wooden spoon after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 minutes.
- Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with the oil. Cover with a damp cloth and put in a warm place to rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 190 C / Gas mark 5. Grease two 23x12cm (9x5 in) loaf tins.
- Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves. Place the loaves into the prepared tins. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the tops are brown and the bottom of a loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Great bread. We loved all the seeds! I halved the recipe and made it in my bread machine on the dough setting. When I took it out, I continued from step 4. - 22 Oct 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This recipe produced a fine, moist, somewhat nutty flavored loaf. It is destined to become a favorite in this household. - 05 Jan 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I've been looking for a simple and healthy bread recipe, and this one is perfect! I've tried other wheat bread recipes and scrapped them because they were too bland and too dry. This one was great- the loaves were heavy, but still moist. Be sure to let the loaves cool completely before you slice them, or else you'll wind up with crumbly, uneven slices. (Most folks say 20 min cooling time is enough, but I had better luck when I waited a full hour.) I'll definitely try this one again.
