1
Mixing the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the Red Fife wheat, salt, and yeast, mixing thoroughly.
2
Adding Wet Ingredients
Warm the water slightly and add the honey and olive oil. Stir to combine, then pour this mixture into the dry ingredients.

3
Kneading the Dough
Mix the ingredients together until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4
Letting the Dough Rise
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

5
Shaping the Loaf
Once risen, punch down the dough, then shape it into a loaf. If using, sprinkle sesame and sunflower seeds on top.

6
Second Rise
Place the shaped loaf in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

7
Baking the Bread
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

8
Cooling the Bread
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
