I've said it before and I'll say it again: There's something really comforting/relaxing about your voice Chef John.

My Granddad was a baker and I remember him, swathed in a huge white apron, making bread at home. I'd stand on a chair beside him and watch his hands create magic. Watching how you rolled and folded the loaf took me back in time - Granddad used to use an old cider jug (he wasn't a drinker and literally procured one to use for this purpose because it had a wider spread than the average rolling pin of the day!) to spread the dough evenly. He taught me a lot and you are reminding me! Thank you, John.

Wonderful! And what a lovely tip at the end for the 5 minute “commando” finish! 🤣💜👍 When you said, “honey” in the beginning…. warmed my heart since you sound so much like the original Pooh Bear 🥰

Oooo that is a beautiful looking loaf! My husband will be impressed😃

A packaged 7-seed mix for baking may not be available in the US. This is the mix that I use for bread. 1/2 c. old-fashioned oats • 1/4 c. ground flax seeds • 1/4 c. sunflower seeds • 2 T. each chia seeds, raw pumpkin seeds, whole flax seeds and sesame seeds

My hubby is addicted to the basic 🥪 bread recipe I learned from you..I mean I think he has a problem..he was so upset I gave a loaf away...lol😂 I will drop this loaf on him and just keep creating a Bread Head..lol😅

Thank you John, I cannot wait to bake up this beautiful loaf! I’ve learned so much from you, I do so enjoy your videos.

That Loaf of Multigrain Bread is a Work of Art!!!♥️💯Beautiful🔥❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥

Please, please don't be offended as I intend this from a place of admiration, you sound very much like the voice of Winnie the Pooh from the animated movies when I was growing up in the 70's. That out of the way, I'll be trying this recipe, and I am thankful for the video!

That looks fantastic, thank you

John, your breads never fail!!! Just by following your recipe step by step...the results are amazing! I made this bread yesterday. Thanks thanks thanks!. Hug from Argentina

Brilliant! Thank you John!! Another great video.

I like listening to Pooh bear teaching me to bake. It’s relaxing.

that loaf looks amazing John, I can almost taste it. another amazing tutorial video

Nice recipe, thank you. I often make soda bread with a seed mix on the outer surface. However, as the soda bread needs to go into the oven as soon as it is kneaded, I butter the tin quite heavily, make sure the seeds mix stick on the buttered tin, then put the dough in the tin, score and bake immediately. I get same result. :)

Thank you for the recipe, looks amazing

I discovered your channel last week after wanting to start baking my own bread. I've made a few different breads and they've come out amazing. Today I followed this recipe precisely (even down to the same brand of flour and seeds) and I've never tasted bread this good! Even my husband said it tastes better than the seeded bread we buy. I'm never buying my usual seeded store bought bread again! This is the first time I've ever given a donation on KZfaq etc and sorry it's not much but I just wanted to show my appreciation for your recipes and videos. Thank you!

Thank you John..that looks amazing and I can’t wait to make some 🤗

Yes! Thank you for this recipe and video. You're a wonderful teacher.

It is looking beautiful! Thank you for the recipe!❤️ Can't wait to try it!

Thank you John for another excellent recipe, I can't wait to try it.

Thanks for a lovely bread recipe. Your posts are like a bit of sunshine 😊

Спасибо, Шеф! Отлично выпечен мультизерновой хлеб, очень мягкий и пушистые, + и главное полезный = красивая подача ! 👍👍Thank you, Chief! Excellently baked multigrain bread, very soft and fluffy, + and most importantly healthy = beautiful presentation!👍👍

John, you really make wonderful videos. This will be the next recipe I try. Thank You.

As always, John, superb video and easy instructions! That looks deeeelicious

Thank you John. You are wonderful! 💕💖💕

Your bread recipes are the only ones I use, I've screenshot the ingredients to make it easier, this is next on the list!

I made this today with your recipe, and wow! Was it ever good! It worked out absolutely perfectly. The way you explain how to do recipes and the way you write your recipes down makes it sooooo easy to understand and the results are always satisfying. I’ve wanted to make a seeded bread for the longest time and your video was the recipe that inspired me. Now I can add this to my repertoire of bread recipes I know how to bake. Thank you, John! Always! 🎉

I make my own bread with a cast-iron pot - but this seeded bread gives me some new ideas! Thanks, John! 😋

Thanks.. I love all your videos and your experience .. brilliant x

John, you are a complete master! 👏👏😘😘 This loaf is a must make, and thank you for your wonderful videos, always so informative and entertaining! Kind regards, Rob.

Excellent 👍🏼 often use honey instead of sugar for the yeast purely because we have more of it at home for mead making. Also tried similar recipes to this, cutting it with spelt flour. Love those ancient grains ❤

The bread looks wonderful! I shall make this in a couple of days, when I have bought the seeds. Thank you.

Accidentally doubled up the seeds! So super seeded 😊 so good. Thank you for the recipes and tutorials 👍🏽

John, I have baked bread for a long time, and a while back I found your channel and let me just say your bread recipes and techniques are brilliant. Your slap and fold kneading method is so simple and effective! My wife is vegan, so I do not prepare any of your meat recipes but your breads are tasty and delicious. So any more recipes you can offer that skip the meat and dairy would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks John, that looks spectacular. Going on vacay in a couple days but I will try this when we return. Looks and sounds so good, I can almost smell it from here!!

This looks wonderful, John! Thank you!

Look delicious can’t wait to try this recipe!

John, stellar recipe as always! lots of wishes from your two biggest fans A+A

Looks absolutely delicious John.😋👍

Just beautiful bread! I'll be baking that this week!

Your channel is so relaxing and helpful. I've made all my loafs from our videos. Thank you so much. Best wishes John ❤️

Awesome recipe, John. I'd upvote twice if I could!

I'm supposed to be sleeping, but Winnie the Pooh is tempting me with a new bread recipe!

Hello John your recipe is gorgeous. Thanks 👍

That bread sounds so nice when you cut into it

This! I want to try this bread. I may not only never buy another wholegrain loaf from the store again, but I may never buy any other bread from the store again, or even make any other bread! Thank you!

Thank you for another great recipe. I made this bread today and it’s absolutely delicious.👍

I have a recipe for a sticky date loaf that says to use a 2lb tin. My loaf tin only has measurements in cm and inches marked on it so I didn't know if it was the right size. I do now thanks to your video. 😁 My son bought me the cake cutters and pie tins from your Meat n Potato pies video for Xmas. The cutters are already coming in very useful. 😁😁

John, I just wanted to thank you so much for this incredible recipe. We have been making our own homemade breads now for well over 4 years. We haven't bought a a roll nor loaf of bread from a Supermarket since. My Hubby really loves seeded wholemeal loaves and I hadn't found a recipe that I was happy with.....until your video came along. I made 2 loaves of this bread the other day and they truly turned out absolutely incredibly. I did tinker a wee bit with the recipe, as my Hubby stopped eating anything with sugar in it (even natural sugars like honey) years ago but he doesn't mind a "wee bit" to feed the yeast in his bread. But honestly, this recipe is THE BEST wholemeal seeded bread recipe I have ever tried......and after all these years of baking bread, I've tried a few awful recipes in my time, teehee. We were so surprised at how light and fluffy the bread is for a wholemeal loaf and it stays so fresh for days and days. It didn't dry out at all and my Hubby was even delighted to eat it without butter as he said it wasn't needed..........but as an Irish woman with fantastic Irish butter on her doorstep......I had to use butter.....it would be rude not too, teehee. But that was just personal preference. Honestly, this bread is so delicious. And it freezes so well too. It's been added to my weekly bread making repertoire. A massive thank you again John. Lee :)

Thanks, Mr. Kirkwood.

That looks so delicious....thank you for the recipe...

This looks sooo good John ……thank you! 🙏 (again)

John you must be a mind reader. I was looking on your site last week for a multi grain loaf. Ha ho just come through to me. Looks wonderful. No question Im going to give it a go. Love your recipes John. Belated Happy New Year. Hope the arthritis isn’t playing you up too much. Take Care. Yvonne

Looks amazing

Perfect loaf of bread. Whole grain bread is my favorite ❤

Hello Mr. Kirkwood as always fantastic keep up the great videos, God Bless.

Oh yum! I love homemade bread. You make your own butter!! I will be making this and the butter. Thank you so much John😊

That looks wonderful, my husband will love that bread❤

That looks delicious!

I've been willing to bake this one for a while, finally saved some time for it and its really easy! Anyone should try this one! Better than anything you could buy on the supermarket and I believe it would work if you add some nuts in it as well, I'll try this next time!

Hi John! Been making your bread from you book. I did the fruit bread last night and it was so good! Thank you.

I'm a Patreon member of yours, but I want to give you an extra special thank you for this beautiful loaf of bread recipe 😊

Neat tip with the steam . The tin will season black for a better bake.

JOHN - I cannot say i have been successful at replicating something actually edible from any of my attempts at making bread at home YET but i will keep trying. Thanks for the encouragement to all of us amateurs. On whole other note the Calm app needs to hire you.

Another good one John thank you cx👍👍👍

Can't wait to make it 😊

Thanks!

Looks so yummy! Do you have a list of what seeds are in that mixture? I didn't see it in the written recipe. Thank you!

Thanks

I keep on forgetting that you have for cookbooks that I can buy through your website sight and I'm going to end up doing that due to the fact I really enjoy some of these recipes that you make all the time

Thank u for sharing

That looks absolutely yummy, I’m off to get the ingredients. 😋😋

Always enjoyable, but sad not to see more of your beautiful new kitchen. Hope you are enjoying it!

Looks delicious! The only problem with it is that I would probably eat it all before anyone else got a look in!

That looks delicious

I hope I can make a whole wheat work first .. I still have trouble with leavening . But this is quite an inspiration I'm going to give it another go ..

Tomorrows lovely bread John, Thank You, I have some of the items I don't have in ,they're on the grocery order for tomorrow .

I'm making this bread this week!

You amaze as always!

The way you narriate it already make me feel happy , i’ll try make this receipe

Hello John, hope you and your family are well. I love your channel, it's my go to channel for baking, I've purchased some things from you too, which have served me well. I'm going to make this wonderful loaf, but before I do, I wondered why the total flour weight is only 380g for a standard 2lb loaf tin. I would rather make a larger loaf with a total flour weight of 500g. I can recalculate the recipe, but if for what ever reason this type of loaf requires less flour, I will stick to your recipe. Your help would be extreemly appreciated. Keep up the excellent tutorials, you are one of the best teachers on KZfaq and your receipes are spot on!

Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes, and most of all for advice. I was struggling along to make any sort of yeast bread- turns out my yeast really was half dead! A victim of supply chain delays I suppose, though it was within the date stamped on the bottle. I'm going to see how hard it is to order the skeleton gloves and more! Happy New Year, John!

🙋🏼‍♀ Thx. my Good Sir.

Wow that looks so delicious ❤

Yes please! ❤️👍🏻

your bread videos are certainly impressive John

Looks amazing! Can you please do a video explaining the hydration percentages and what it means being a higher or lower percentage? Thanks x

Can't wait to try this! Only problem is nobody else in my house will eat it with all those yummy seeds!

You sound just like Winnie the Pooh. Love it!! Love the recipe, too! I’ll be trying this recipe shortly. I make a multigrain loaf that is pretty good, but I was saying yesterday that I wish I could exactly replicate my favorite store bought loaf.

John, I’ve tried your recipes and you are spot in when saying they are perfection. I need some help to make old fashioned raisin bread. My grandmother made it. Oats and molasses… cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves…raisins. It was the best I’ve ever eaten!!!! I have the recipie here from her book but after trying several times, it doesn’t rise to light airy texture and is heavy as a stone…. You’re a baker and probably could help me sort this? Maybe print a recipie like that on the site for everyone? Please help!!!!!🥰❤️🇨🇦👍🏼

Nice one John. 👍 It's a Wheatmeal loaf though. Wholemeal (in the U.K.) means 100% of Wholemeal flour. Wheatmeal is the term used for a bread which has white flour in it too. It's an important distinction lest folk confuse the two on supermarket shelves. It is all getting a little confused these days by American Bakers. The U.S. has no convention (food regulations) on this. Small matter. I hope you don't mind me mentioning it. Great video and a lovely loaf.

John, come see us in Whatcom County, WA State, USA.. Grateful!

Yum

Wonderful fairytale voice ❤

I LIKE You, thank you for your tips❤

Gosh my mouth was watering when you put the butter on 👍 any chance of doing a malt loaf John, trying to find good one for my mum, since a certain name brand changed there recipe

Hi John. Would it be possible to do a video on making croissants. I would love to try baking them.

I tripped on to your channel while looking for a Multi-grain seeded bread to make. I am definitely going to try this John, thank you! You sound so sweet and I'm a sucker for the lovely British accent! Reminds me of my years spent in the Air Force stationed at RAF Alconbury years ago in East Anglia. Tell me Sir, how would I modify this for a Bread machine? I assume it needs to be wetter right?

Hi John thank you for the recipe! Can I use all white bread flour for this please? Thank you! 😊
