Seeds for bread
 

My wife is suddenly nuts about seeded bread, and I aim to please. Sesame
and poppy, of course, I know well. Caraway I prefer to keep with rye, if
at all. Flax is crunchy, but doesn't seem to have a whole lot of flavor
unless ground up. But that's about the extent of my knowledge on seeds.
As for grains, oats, cracked wheat, cracked rye -- I've probably used it.

Anyway hat seeds and seed / grain combinations do you like to throw in,
either outside or inside the loaf, that taste particularly good?

And, by the way, thanks for all the help folks gave me about
transporting my starter 3100 miles across the country. They all
survived. I didn't even have to resort to breaking out the dried stuff
-- the doughballs kept just fine.

Thanks,

We like to pan roast pumpkin or sunflower seeds to medium "brownness"
and add them to the dough (last thing in). Gives good flavor,
particularly the sunflower seed.

For ryes... soak caraway, charnuska and anise for a few hours then add
them to dough. Fennel isn't bad either. Soaking first works better.
