FLAX SEED BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)
I saw flax seed at the grocery and bought it without any idea of what to do with it. I found out that flax seed contributes fiber and omega-3s to the diet. Even better, it made this delightful, speckled loaf with a nutty flavor. Wonderful as is or toasted.

Steps:
- Your bread machine should be unplugged.
- Remove the bread pan from the bread machine (so when you add the ingredients, they can not accidentally spill into the machine).
- Pour the milk into the bread pan and then add the other ingredients. Place the instant yeast (bread machine yeast) in last and the yeast should not touch the liquid (until the bread machine is turned on and the ingredients start to be mixed together by the bread machine). Some bakers like to make a small indent on top of the flour to prevent the yeast from spilling into the liquids or mixing with the salt before the machine is turned on.
- Put the bread pan with ingredients back into unplugged bread machine.
- Plug in bread machine. Enter the "Dough" setting on your bread machine and then press the "Start" button.
- When the bread machine has finished making the bread dough, unplug the bread machine.
- Remove the bread pan from the bread machine.
- Now go to the instruction section below on "preparing the dough & baking the bread". FYI - Ignore the instructions for the electric stand mixer below if you are using a bread machine to make your dough. Skip down to the preparing the dough & baking the bread section below.
- Your electric mixer should be unplugged.
- Remove the mixing bowl from the electric mixer.
- Insert a dough hook into the electric mixer.
- Pour the milk into the mixing bowl and then add the other ingredients. Place the instant yeast in last and the yeast should not touch the liquid (until the electric mixer is turned on and the ingredients start to be mixed together). Some bakers like to make a small indent on top of the flour to prevent the yeast from spilling into the liquids or mixing with the salt before the machine is turned on.
- Place the mixing bowl back into the electric stand mixer.
- Plug in the electric mixer and use a low speed (i.e. setting 2) to mix the dough. Mix the dough for 7-10 minutes.
- Turn off the electric mixer and unplug machine.
- Remove the mixing bowl from the electric mixer. Pour the dough into a second large mixing bowl that has been lightly "greased" with olive oil, melted butter, cooking spray, etc.
- Lightly coat the top of dough with vegetable oil in order to prevent dough exterior from drying out. Use a pastry brush.
- Loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 60-90 minutes until it doubles in size.
- After the dough has risen, go to the instruction section below on "preparing the dough & baking the bread".
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Sprinkle a little bit of flour onto a large cutting board.
- Remove the dough from the bread pan or mixing bowl and place the dough on the cutting board.
- Press down on the dough with your hands and create a "flattish" rectangle with the dough. The dough should be roughly 1 inch high.
- Roll up the dough into a tight "jelly roll". FYI - Please see the short instructional videos in the tips section below on how to shape the dough if you haven't shaped bread dough before. It is easier to watch & learn from these short videos versus trying to explain the rolling technique step by step.
- Place the rolled up dough into the bread pan.
- Press down on top of the dough so the edges of the dough press out towards the sides of the bread pan. This should result in little or no gaps between the dough and the bread pan. This helps the bread to turn into a nice loaf shape without any misshapen edges. Make sure that the top of the pressed down dough is roughly level (so one side isn't much higher than the other).
- Brush vegetable oil on top of the dough with a pastry brush. This prevents the crust from drying out as the dough rises.
- Loosely cover the top of the bread pan with plastic wrap. Set the covered bread pan aside for 45-60 minutes for the dough to rise into a loaf shape. When the dough has risen modestly (1/2 inch to 1 inch) over the top of the bread pan, it is time to place the bread pan in the oven. FYI - Do not wait for the dough to rise higher (or the bread top will be too large after baking). The dough will continue to rise naturally in the oven.
- Place the bread pan in the (preheated) oven to bake at 350 F for 37-42 minutes. Wear oven mitts when dealing with a hot oven. Place the bread pan in the middle of the oven.
- Rotate the bread pan in the oven after 15-20 minutes (in order to ensure an even browning of the bread).
- After the 37-42 minute baking period has finished, remove the bread pan from the oven. Wear oven mitts. Optional - Use digital thermometer to confirm that the bread has been fully baked. See tips section.
- Remove the bread from bread pan and place the bread on a wire cooling rack. Wear oven mitts.
- Optional - Brush melted butter on top of the bread with a pastry brush. This "basting" helps to create a more golden & tasty crust.
- Allow the bread to cool down on the wire cooling rack for 1-2 hours before cutting the bread.
- Please read the tips section on the Bread Dad recipe page for extra information on how to make this recipe successfully.

Tips:
- For a chewier texture, use a mixture of white and whole wheat flour.
- If you don't have a bread machine, you can mix and knead the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- To make sure the bread is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
- Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Flaxseed bread is a delicious and healthy bread that is easy to make in a bread machine. With its nutty flavor and high fiber content, flaxseed bread is a great choice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
