Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

Measure 500 g of water and add it to the baking pan.

Add balsamic vinegar to the water.

Add spelt flour, rye flour, and bread flour into the pan in no specific order.

Make a dent in the flour and add 1 and 1/2 packages of instant yeast.

Set aside the salt and seeds to add later.

If using a regular oven, knead the mixture for about 8 minutes, then add salt and seeds and knead for another 1-2 minutes.

For the breadmaker, wait for the signal to add salt and seeds, then let it continue on the basic setting with a dark crust.

Let the dough proof until it has significantly increased in size, about 1 hour.

Knead the dough again and place it into a loaf pan, letting it rise for another 20-30 minutes.

Bake the bread in the oven until done, then remove it from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
