In the 70s, when I was a child there was a lot of attention towards healthy food and building good habits. I remember my parents cared a lot about the food they brought home and they even jumped on some trends. Eat organic vegetables, avoid sugar and ultraprocessed food, consume enough fiber and privilege whole grains. One of the staple foods I ate throughout my whole childhood was Grahamsbrød, basically a whole grain wheat bread that I still love very much, it immediately takes me back in time.
🍞 Makes 1 big loaf
15g fresh yeast/5 g dry yeast

300g plain wheat flour
350 strong wheat flour

50 g sunflower seeds
50 g sesame seeds
15 g salt
Day 1
Dissolve the yeast in water in a big mixing bowl, then add in the oats, all the seeds, and the salt, stir and then mix in flours.
Give it a really good stir, no kneading, because it is a very wet dough.
Tip 2 litre baking tin, wrap with a tea towel or cling film, or if you have one of these reusable bee wags things, leave in the refrigerator until the next day.
