   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   12            ounces  water -- warm, 100F
   2               Tbsp  honey
      1/2          Tbsp  salt
      3/4          Tbsp  active dry yeast
   3               cups  bread flour -- plus extra for dusting
   2               Tbsp  sunflower seeds -- toasted plus more for top of bread
   1               Tbsp  sesame seeds -- toasted
   1               Tbsp  flax seeds
   1                tsp  poppy seeds
   1               Tbsp  corn meal -- or semolina to dust parchment (optional)

Line work surface with parchment paper and trim the corners to fit 
better in the dutch oven. Sprinkle the center 9" of parchment with 1 
Tbsp cornmeal or semolina and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups warm water, 2 Tbsp honey and 1/2 
Tbsp salt. Stir until honey dissolves then sprinkle with 3/4 Tbsp 
yeast. Let sit at room temp 5 min. Stir in 3 cups flour and all the 
seeds. Stir with spatula until it comes together and seeds are 
incorporated (no kneading required). Dough will be very sticky. Cover 
bowl with lid or plastic wrap and rest at room temp (70F) for 2 hours 
or until tripled in volume.

Sprinkle dough with flour and use a spatula to fold dough in half 
then fold in half again. Sprinkle generously again with flour and 
with well floured hands, lift up the dough and form a ball in your 
hands. Place over the center of your prepared parchment paper with 
the folded seam side down. sprinkle the top with extra seeds if 
desired. Let rise uncovered at room temp for 40 min.

Place the empty dutch oven and lid inside the oven and preheat the 
oven to 450F. Once preheated, remove dutch oven and place on the 
stove. Be careful not to touch the dutch oven or lid without oven 
mitts because it will be blazing hot. Lift bread with the parchment 
paper and set it in the center of HOT dutch oven. Cover with lid and 
bake at 450F for 30 min. Carefully remove hot lid and bake another 2- 
5 min or until top is golden brown. Remove bread from dutch oven with 
the help of parchment paper and place bread directly on wire rack. 
Cool until it's nearly room temperature before slicing. NEVER slice 
into hot bread or it will release too much steam and become gummy
