This recipe uses whole wheat flour and flax seeds to create a hearty and flavorful bread that is perfect for sandwiches or toast. The addition of flax seeds adds a nutty taste and a boost of omega-3 fatty acids for added health benefits. Enjoy this homemade bread as a wholesome and satisfying snack or accompaniment to any meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup ground flax seeds
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, flax seeds, yeast, and salt.
  2. Add the honey, warm water, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour.
  5. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  7. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool before slicing and serving.
