Add enough flour to make a soft workable dough, not too sticky, but not heavy and tough. Knead for 6 minutes on a medium speed. Turn dough out onto a clean oiled surface and form loaves. Put into greased loaf pans. Brush tops of loaves with egg wash and sprinkly with mix of seeds. Cut 2 diagonal slashes in top of loaves.
