Wild Rice Bread with Sunflower Seeds image

I loved skipping the boring school cafeteria meals and going to my grandma's house for lunch. She spent most of her life in northeastern Minnesota, which is reflected in this bread's ingredients. Now my family uses this for our holiday stuffing. -Crystal Schlueter, Northglenn, Colorado

Yield 2 loaves (16 slices each).

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 package (8.8 ounces) ready-to-serve long grain and wild rice
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsalted sunflower kernels, divided

Place each in a 9x5-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray, seam side down., Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°., Brush loaves with egg white; sprinkle with remaining sunflower kernels and, if desired, wheat germ. Bake 35-45 minutes or until dark golden brown. Cool in pans 5 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
