1. Have ready 2 loaf tins measuring about 19cm x 11cm x 5.5cm (about 800ml capacity). In a bowl, combine the flour, yeast and salt.
2. Dissolve the sugar in 400ml lukewarm water (not too hot) and gradually combine the liquid with the flour mixture. Stir in the oil and mix together.
3. Lightly oil the loaf tins and divide the mixture between them. Sprinkle 2 tbsp seeds over each loaf, cover with a cloth and leave to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
4. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 220C/200C fan/ 425F/gas 7 and place a baking sheet inside to get hot. Sit the tins on the baking sheet and bake for 25-35 minutes or until done.
