Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, about 2/3 of the sesame seeds and pepitas, the wheat bran, oatmeal, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  • Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk, oil, and molasses.
  • Fold all the ingredients together until you have a stiff dough.
  • Transfer the dough to a standard-sized loaf pan and top it with the remaining sesame seeds and pepitas.
  • Bake the bread until it's very crusty and registers an internal temperature of around 195 degrees F (approx. 1 hour).
