NIGELLA LAWSON'S NORWEGIAN MOUNTAIN BREAD

NIGELLA LAWSON'S NORWEGIAN MOUNTAIN BREAD

Although I haven't made this bread yet, as soon as I read this recipe of Nigella Lawson's, I was reminded of her Lazy Loaf which I have made in the past and blogged about earlier.
However, I suspect this loaf will be a lot denser for it contains rye flour.

Ingredients

250ml milk or buttermilk
250ml water
250g whole-wheat flour
50g rye flour
7 g active dry yeast
50g rolled oats (not instant)
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon sugar
8 Tablespoon blend of any of the following (preferably all of the following):
wheat germ
sunflower seeds
flaxseeds (linseeds)
pumpkin seeds
wheatbran

Mix the milk and water together in a measuring cup and combine all the other ingredients in a large bowl.
Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients, stirring all the while, to make a sticky mixture.
Butter your loaf pan well, scrape the dough into the pan, sprinkle a few extra seeds and oats over the surface of the bread and place in a cold oven.
Turn on oven to 225F/100C and after 30 minutes, turn it up to 350F/175C for one hour.
