Muesli Loaf

I had moving house after new year. This bread is the first one at my new kitchen.
My new kitchen gets lots of sunshine and bigger than before. It is a not gas oven, unfortunately. But it has high power and works well for me. I love it.

I made toasted Muesli.  Oats, pumpkin seeds, sun flower seeds, almond and dry banana chips,almond, dry prune and raisin. 

I roasted oats and seeds, almond, then I added dried fruits. 
I have it for my breakfast with yogurt and honey. 

Of cause, I made bread with the muesli.

The decorated almond on the top got burn.....
But it seems OK. 

It contain lots of fiber and seeds and almond give it texture crunchy. 
I love it have with honey and butter.

I made it with whole meal flour sour dough starter. It makes brownish crumb.
