Seed bread reproduction

I bought this amazingly delicious bread from a bakery in my hometown 
It was dense but it felt light and with a great crispy crust and plenty of grains.

Few days after tasting it I started to develop an obsession to discover the mysteries of this bread
I even posted a forum thread to share this urge with the TFL experts

So, after spending some time googling (google images mostly)
I found a bread with similar look .. it was called "Cape Seed Bread"

I used the "cape seed bread" recipe as base line for my reproduction
however, since the recipe I got was a 1 hour bread, I couldn't accept it
and I preferment 25% of the flour as poolish.

My final result was quite close to what I looked for in terms of texture and density
I still need to work on the quantities to get a closer taste but still, I'm very happy with the results.
