Ingredients

• 1 1/4 Cups Warm Water (Between 110° - 115°F)
• 1/4 Cup Molasses
• 1 Package (1/4 Ounce) Active Dry Yeast
• 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 1/2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 1/4 Cups All-Purpose Flour
• 3/4 Cup Cassava Flour
• 1 Teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 Cup Toasted, Unsalted Sunflower Seeds
• 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil, Melted

Instructions

1. In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the warm water, molasses, and dry yeast. Let sit for 10 - 15 minutes for the yeast to reawaken and become slightly frothy. Add the olive oil and stir to combine.
2. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cassava flour, and salt. Whisk to combine.
3. Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet, followed by the sunflower seeds. Use the dough hook attachment to gently bring the dough together. Continue to knead for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. It should still be soft, but not sticky.
4. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for about 5 minutes longer. Round the dough into a ball and place in a lightly greased bowl, loosely covered by a clean kitchen towel. Let rest in a warm place until approximately doubled in volume; about 1 hour.
5. Punch the dough down and shape it into a loaf. Roll it tightly into a smooth cylinder about 8-inch long, and place into a greased 8 x 4-inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise once more for 30 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Once the dough peeks just above the rim of the pan, it's ready to bake. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes until golden brown all over. Immediately brush with melted coconut oil to keep the crust soft and rich.
7. Remove from the pan and let cool completely on a wire racks before slicing and savoring.
