I used wholegrain spelt flour in this recipe and added mixed sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, golden linseed and crush walnuts. It was very easy to follow the recipe and it tasted delicious.

I just made this using spelt flour (my local Waitrose were out of stock of the DF Strong Wholemeal Bread Flour) and a seed mix, its absolutely delicious. I've never made bread before, the recipe is so easy to follow and the result is just brilliant - really tasty. I won't be spending a fortune on WF loaves again, and am looking forward to experimenting with different seeds and nuts.

I used sesame and sunflower seeds in the mix and dusted the loaf with oatbran and sesame seeds.
It was the best loaf recipe I have ever used, very moist and delicious!
