This is a GREAT loaf of bread! Way better than Dave’s. Better texture, and way less expensive than the real thing. Adjust the seeds to your liking. No need to stick to my recipe — be creative and do your own thing. Recipe is printed down below. Hope you’ll enjoy.
COPYCAT DAVE’S BREAD
1 1/2 cup warm water
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey, agave or molasses
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cup bread flour or all -purpose flour
3 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon dry active yeast
1/2 c. uncooked old-fashioned oats
3 tablespoons ground flax seed
1/4 c. sunflower seed
2 tablespoons amaranth
2 tablespoons chia seed
2 tablespoons raw pumpkin seed
2 tablespoons whole flax seeds
1 tablespoons sesame seed
2 tablespoons poppy seed
And a combination of seeds (approximately ½ cup) to roll the dough in prior to baking
In the bowl of a mixer, with a kneading hook, add all of the ingredients. On medium speed, begin mixing to incorporate all of the ingredients.
Once the ingredients are combined, turn the mixer down to low kneading speed and knead for 10 minutes. If the dough seems too dry, you can add a tablespoon of water. If it’s too wet, you can add a tablespoon or so of flour. The dough should be able to clean the sides of the bowl as it mixes as well as wrapping around the dough hook for a good kneading action.
After the kneading time, remove the dough from the mixing bowl. Oil the bowl with olive oil. Shape the dough into a ball and place it into the greased bowl. Turn the dough over so you can oil that side as well. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm location. Let rise until dough has doubled.
Once risen, remove dough from bowl. Punch down and with your hands (or rolling pin), spread the dough out into a rectangular shape. From the long end begin rolling the dough, tucking the ends in as you go. Be sure to pinch the end of the rolls and the long seam that runs down the length of the loaf.
Now it’s time to roll the loaf in the seeds. You can take your selection of seeds and place them in a dinner plate. First, wet your hands with water and moisten the loaf. Now roll the dough in the seeds, making sure to all sides, including the ends of the dough.
Place the finished dough into a greased 9”x5”x3” loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise about 30-40 minutes until dough crests the rim of the baking pan. It should be about an 1” over the top.
While the dough is in its final rise, pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F. Place your oven rack in the center-low position.
Once your loaf has risen in the pan, place it in the pre-heated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes. Bread should sound hollow as you tap it on the bottom of the loaf or take its internal temperature with a kitchen thermometer. It should be 200-210 degrees F. Remove from oven and allow to cool before cutting.
NOTE: Next time I make this bread, I will seed only the top of the loaf (not on all sides and bottom).
If you like a sweeter bread, increase the sweetener to 3 tablespoons.
And – it’s way better than Dave’s!

Sorry but… far too many ingredients.
I haven't purchased Dave's bread since finding this recipe. Only change I made I used Yudane in the recipe. Made it first time as written was delicious then when I used the Yudane it was even softer and lasted alot longer. Thank you for all your effort on our behalf!!
I use this recipe all the time since I found it 4 months ago. I have a question, I ran out of whole wheat flour can I use all purpose flour will it work?? Thank you for any help it is greatly appreciated!! This is the best bread i've ever baked and i'm in the mood for baking bread but need to use up my all purpose flour as I'm out of whole wheat. Thank you.
Lovely bread! I make something similar — it all started with “your” Dave’s bread, but I’ve substantially tweaked it. First I mill a mix of organic WWheat berries into flour, then mix this fresh flour, water and SourDough Starter (leavening) together. Ferment overnight in refrigerator, then proceed to knead in EVOO, seeds, etc. It rises quite well w/o lecithin or added gluten, but sometimes we give it a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Awesome. Thank you for the initial recipe — we’ve now made it our own. Isn’t the art of baking wonderful?!
Where are the actual quants please?
What was your water volume…1 cup?? No mention..
What amount of flour?
What are the measurements for the ingredients please
Hi, I’m hoping you know how to adapt this to a Zojirushi Bread Machine !
Hi Jill, I am a 68 year old retired 42 year career machinist. I love to cook. Actually I do all the cooking. My wife is a retired 42 year ER nurse. She is now disabled from giving her life to others. Anyway, I love baking. Have been baking for a year, fledgling baker. All I wanted was a good healthy whole grain seeded bread. I cannot tell you how many I have tried. You have changed my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am so appreciative for your efforts. I made this loaf today, actually I made two. One exactly like you explained and one the same but with a cup of chopped cranberries it just came out of the oven. But the first one is amazing… my new go to staple bread. This is better than Dave’s because it’s fresh. And so so good. Hugs and appreciation to you sweetheart. You are an angel. Bless you.
After looking at the ingredients for Dave's Cover Bread Loaf – I will never complain about paying $6 for the ready-made version again!
