1
Combine honey or corn syrup, sourdough starter and yeast in a large bowl. Add pinch of salt. Stir in 2 1/2 cups lukewarm water, the mashed potatoes, 3 1/3 cups whole-grain flour, the rye flour and 4 tsp salt to make a sticky dough. Cover tightly with foil and leave overnight in the fridge to double in size.
2
Knead the remaining 1 2/3 cups whole-grain flour and the fried onions into the dough. Divide the dough into thirds and form 3 long loaves. Roll one loaf in oatmeal, one in sunflower seeds and one in pumpkin seeds.
3
Put the loaves on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Make slashes in the loaves, cover with a cloth and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
4
Preheat oven to 425u00b0F. Bake bread for about 20 minutes. When cooked, leave to cool on a wire rack.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
