Tick the ingredients you need to add your shopping list.

500g strong wholemeal flour, plus extra for dusting

7g fast action yeast

1 tbsp salt

100g mixed seeds, plus extra to sprinkle

50g walnuts, chopped

350ml water, lukewarm

Vegetable oil, for oiling the bowl

In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, seeds and walnuts. Make a well in the centre and pour in the water, then mix to form a wet dough.
Transfer to a lightly-floured work surface and knead for 10 -12 minutes until elastic.
Place the dough in a clean, oiled bowl and cover with a clean tea towel. Place in a warm place and leave to rise for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
Place the dough on a baking tray and sprinkle with seeds. Leave to prove for 40 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 220˚C/200˚C fan/gas mark 7. Bake the bread for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 190˚C/170˚C fan/gas mark 5 and bake for another 30 minutes. The bread is ready when a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean and it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Cool on a wire rack.
