It's Lockdown. Times are grim. Times are hard.

But what better to keep our danders up in these tough times than some super healthy, energy boosting bread?

Get your fingers ready for a kneading with the very splendid, three seed, oat and honey bread!

It really has everything. 40% less salt, pumpkin, sunflower, mustard seeds, honey and healthy oats!

Let's get stuck in

You will need

300 grams of strong white flour
200 grams of wholemeal flour
100 grams of oats
60 grams of sunflower seeds
40 grams of pumpkin seeds
2 teaspoons of black mustard seeds
380mls of tepid water
A right big squirt of honey
A glug of rapeseed or olive oil
6 grams of salt
7 grams of quick action yeast

To make

Toast your pumpkin and sunflower seeds lightly for a couple of minutes on a medium heat to make them taste toasty awesome.

Soak your oats in the tepid water for twenty minutes

Measure out your wholemeal and regular flour as well as your yeast, salt and sprinkle your mustard seeds in too.

After the twenty minutes add the oil and honey to your soaky oaty mix.

Then the flours and the toasted seeds join the big soaky, oaty party! Now give everything a mini knead inside your big bowl

Cover and leave your dough to sit for an hour

Give it another knead for five minutes (you don't have to if you hate kneading just flatten it and fold it back up) then cover and leave again

Forty odd minutes later and you should have a big mama like this

Get your oven on at 200 degrees and fold your dough into a big fat cigar, place it on a baking tray

Once the oven is hot enough slash the top and bake for thirty minutes!!

After which you will pull this out, let it cool on a cooling rack

Now slice it.

Have it with your favourite things!! Or just have it straight!! Yum!!!

Enjoy!
