Farmhouse bread, easy to make

Dissolve the yeast in half of the water and let it rise, covered, for 10 minutes. Then make a yeast dough with all the ingredients (except the seeds), knead it for 10 minutes. Finally, fold in the seeds. Then cover and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. (I always use an oven at 50°C.) The dough should have at least doubled in size by now! Then knead well again and form two loaves. Place them next to each other on a baking tray lined with baking paper. (If you are using a loaf pan, you should use three pans; the bread rises well during baking.) Cover and let it rise in a warm place for another 20 minutes, covered with a floured cloth. The loaves are baked at 200°C for 40 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 150°C and leave to rise for another 15 minutes.
