Farro-Pepita Breakfast Bread

I made two of these breakfast loaves for brunch today. I served thick slices alongside softened butter and extra honey for drizzling.  My mom used to make a similar loaf with oatmeal, dried fruit and served it with blackberry jelly on days when the temperatures dropped overnight out of nowhere. She enjoyed sitting at the table gazing out the window with her cup of coffee and a thick slice of breakfast bread.

This breakfast bread is hearty, rich in color with a small touch of sweetness. Best served warm on cold mornings, add a few kiddos in pjs with sticky sweet faces and colorful socks. 

The start of a tasty Sunday.
