Method
Step 1
Put the flours into a large bowl and add the yeast, sugar, salt and seeds.
Step 2
Pour the warm water, oil and youhurt into a jug and mix into the flour. As soon as it is all combined, cover with cling film or a plastic bag and leave it to rise for up to 1 hour.
Step 3
Gently deflate the dough, and carefully upturn the bowl contents onto a lightly floured surface. It will have lost its original stickiness and will be easier to knead. Knead for 10-15 minutes until smooth.
Step 4
Shape into a round ball put onto a greased baking sheet and sprinkle with oats. Cover with a bowl, to prevent it forming a skin on the outside and leave it in a warm place until it has almost doubled in size.
Step 5
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan, 425°F, gas mark 7). When the bread has almost doubled in size, slash down the centre of the loaf with a sharp knife.
Step 6
Turn the oven down to 190°C (170°C fan, 375°F, gas mark 5). Bake for 35-40 minutes or until browned and the loaf sounds hollow when the base is tapped.
Step 7
Remove from oven and turn out onto a cooling rack.
