Tip the flour, seeds, yeast and salt into a large bowl.

Mix the water oil and honey in a jug then pour into the dry mix stirring all the time to make a soft dough. If it feels sticky add a little more flour.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 mins until the dough no longer feels sticky sprinkling with flour if you need to.

Oil a 1.2-litre loaf pan and put the dough in pressing evenly. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise for 1 hour.
