In a bowl, combine the two types of bread flour with the liquids.

Mix the ingredients on medium speed until the dough comes together, then increase to high speed and knead for 5 minutes.

If the dough looks dry, add an extra tablespoon of milk as needed.

Wet your hands with water to help mix the dough without needing to knead it.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes to hydrate the flour.

After 30 minutes, perform the first series of stretches and folds to develop gluten.

Cover the dough and return every 30 minutes to perform more stretches and folds.

Allow the dough to rise for about 1 hour or until it has tripled in size after the last folds.

Generously butter the loaf pans and line the bottom.

Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and roll it into a sausage shape, tucking the ends in.

Place the rolled dough seam side down in the pan and press it down gently for an even rise.

Scatter seeds on top of the seeded whole wheat bread and press them down into the dough.

Loosely cover the breads and allow to rise for about 1 hour or until risen above the top of the loaf pan.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
