whole wheat flour

🥗Healthier: spelt flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Spelt flour adds nuttiness and is easier to digest.

honey

🥗Healthier: maple syrup

💰Cheaper: sugar

Maple syrup offers a unique flavor while being a natural sweetener.

hemp seeds

🥗Healthier: chia seeds

💰Cheaper: flaxseeds

Chia seeds provide similar health benefits and are more accessible.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil is rich in healthy fats and has a high smoke point.

Mix whole wheat flour, hemp seeds, and salt in a large bowl.

Dissolve yeast and honey in warm water and let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture.

Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Shape the risen dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.

Sprinkle sunflower seeds on top of the loaf, if desired.

Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden and sounds hollow when tapped.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
