Move mixing seed from troubleshooting to mix-ins

This was written way before the mix-ins sections, made sense back then
but not so much anymore so moving it out.

formatted text and added centering, labels etc while at it.

\label{subec:incorporate-seeds}
You can include seeds directly at the start when mixing the dough. If you use
whole seeds such as wheat or rye kernels, soak them in water overnight and
then rinse them before adding them to the dough. This makes sure that they are
not crunchy and are soft enough when eating the bread. If you forgot to soak
them you can cook the seeds for 10~minutes in hot water. Rinse them with cold
water before adding them to your dough.
If you want to sweeten the dough, your best option is to add sugar during the
shaping stage. Sugar added too early in the process typically gets fermented
until none of it remains. Adjust your shaping technique a little bit and
spread your sugar mixture over a flattened-out dough. You can then roll the
dough together, incorporating layers of sugar.
