1. 1

   Mix the flours in a large bowl. Dissolve the yeast in a well in the center of the flour with 3 TBS water. Sprinkle salt on dry flour. Add margarine and rest of water and stir with a spoon until smooth. Turn onto work surface and knead 10 to 15 minutes. Form into a ball. Place into an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Allow to rise in a warm spot for 50 to 60 minutes. Knead a second time and work in the sunflower seeds.

2. 2

   Oil a baking sheet, form a log from the dough and brush with milk. Allow to rise about 15 minutes in a warm area. Preheat oven to 400F or so. Place a water filled container in the oven for steam. Bake bread for 45 -50 minutes. 10 minutes before the end of baking, brush with milk again and sprinkle remaining seeds. Spritz loaf with water as soon as it comes out of the oven to develop crust.
