Nutty and satisfying, this homemade loaf packs rolled oats, sunflower seeds, and flax into a tender crumb, with molasses lending a gentle sweetness and rich colour. The dough rewards a little patience with two good rises and fills the kitchen with that unbeatable baking-bread smell. Slice it thick for toast or sandwiches that actually keep you full.
