Whole Wheat Bread with Sunflower Seeds and Oats

Dissolve the yeast in 2 cups lukewarm water until smooth. Place flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the dissolved yeast and the oil and knead with the kneading hook of the electric mixer until smooth. Add a little warm water or flour if necessary. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 40 minutes.

Add the sunflower seeds to the dough. Knead the dough a second time on a floured surface. Shape the dough into an elongated strand shape and transfer it to a greased loaf pan lined with oats. Brush with warm water and sprinkle with remaining oats. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
