To soften yeast, in a large bowl combine

• 2 cups warm water
• 2 packets active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Let yeast proof. stir in this order

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup sunflower oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1/2 to 1 cup sunflower seeds. I use dryroasted

Beat well. To make a stiff dough, gradually add 3 to 3 1/2 cups more flour

Knead on floured surface until smooth. Place in greased bowl, turning dough once to grease top. Cover and let rise 45 to 60 minutes. Knead dough down in bowl and divide in half. Shape into oblong loaves and place on a greased baking sheet or in two 9x5 baking pans. Cover and let rise 30 t0 40 minutes. Bake at 375 dereese for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on wire racks. Makes 2 loaves.

Makes excelent toast,sandwich bread or my favorite grilled ham and cheese.
