- 1 cup rye flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup flaxseeds
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tsp. active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, rye flour, rolled oats, cornmeal, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, honey, yeast, and salt.
- Add the warm water and stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean towel. Allow it to rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
