Servings: 10
Yield: 1 loaf

Ingredients

  1. 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
  2. 1 tablespoon rolled oats
  3. 2 ½ teaspoons caraway seeds, divided
  4. 1 ½ teaspoons poppy seeds
  5. 2 cups rye flour
  6. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  7. 2 teaspoons baking soda
  8. 1 ¼ teaspoons sea salt
  9. 1 ¾ cups buttermilk
  10. 1 tablespoon buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix sunflower seeds, oats, 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds, and poppy seeds together in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. Combine remaining 2 teaspoons caraway seeds, rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sea salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. Pour in 1 3/4 cups buttermilk and stir with a wooden spoon until dough starts coming together. Knead briefly in the bowl until no dry spots remain.
  4. Transfer dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape into a round loaf. Use damp hands if dough is sticking as you shape it. Cut a deep cross into the top using a sharp knife. Brush with 1 tablespoon buttermilk and sprinkle seed-oat mixture all over the top and into the cracks.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until top and bottom are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool completely before slicing.
