Mixed bread with seeds

Make the sourdough the night before. Mix 100g of wheat flour with 80g of water and a little starter. In the morning, or when the sourdough is bubbling nicely, continue. Blanch the whole wheat flour with 120g of hot water at approximately 60°C and let it cool. Toast the seeds in a hot pan for a few minutes until fragrant. Let it cool as well. Mix the yeast in 180g of cool water. Place all ingredients in the mixing bowl and knead, slowly for 7 minutes and then faster for 3-6 minutes, depending on the machine. The dough should be tough and elastic and stretch out thinly with your hands. Let it rest for 20 minutes. Stretch and fold a few times and press out the CO2. Then let it rise for 1 hour. Shape it into a fairly oblong loaf and let it rise, covered, on a baking sheet for about 1-1.5 hours. Then make a few diagonal cuts on the left and right sides. Bake in the oven at 240°C with steam for about 20 minutes, then about 10 minutes at 200°C. For a glossy finish, spray the bread with a watering can and leave it in the turned-off oven for a few minutes.
