Success Hints: The original recipe used equal amounts pumpkin, flax and sunflower seeds. I used what I had on hand at the time; a combination of sunflower, sesame, poppy, caraway, anise, and fennel seeds.

The directions say for best results, use the "extra knead" process and add seeds near the end of the first knead. My machine doesn't have any such cycle, so I just used the regular setting. In addition, I added the seeds at the beginning along with all the other ingredients.

Personal note: I expected to get a short, dense loaf and was pleasantly surprised at how high it rose. This one's a keeper!
