Ingredients

Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C. Put cold water and yeast in a medium-sized bowl
2.Mix hot water and honey together until dissolved, then pour into cold water and leave for 15 minutes, or until yeast is frothy
3.Sift flours into a large bowl, add salt and seeds and stir to combine.
4.Add the yeast mixture to the bowl and mix well with a wooden spoon. It is a very wet and sticky mixture
5.Grease two 22cm x 14cm loaf tins with butter and divide the dough between the tins. Top with a handful of seeds, if desired, and brush with olive oil.
6.Cover each tin with a plastic bag and place in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough has risen to the top of the tins (Richard preheats the oven while the bread is rising on top of it).
7.Remove the plastic bags and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden. Remove from tins immediately and cool on racks
