Preparation

Step 1
Roast all the seeds in a frying pan until they start crackling. Place in a bowl and when cool add the flour, bran, yeast and salt.
Step 2
Add all the liquid ingredients, reserving i cup of water. Turn the dough onto a floured counter and knead for 10 to 12 minutes, adding up to a ¼ cup of water if necessary. The dough should be elastic but not sticky. Return to a clean bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or more, depending on the temperature.
Step 3
Divide into two cylinders and place in 4-by-8-inch or 5-by-10-inch loaf pans. Allow to rise until dough has doubled in size, 45 minutes or more. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes, until tapping the bottom of a loaf produces a hollow sound.
