Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until double in size. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.
  • Grease bottom and sides of 8x4-inch loaf pan with shortening or cooking spray. On lightly floured surface, roll dough into 12x8-inch rectangle. Roll up rectangle tightly, beginning at 8-inch side. Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal. Pinch each end of roll to seal; fold ends under loaf. Place seam side down in pan. Cover and let rise in warm place 45 to 60 minutes or until double in size.
  • Heat oven to 375°F. Uncover loaf. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pan to cooling rack. Brush top of loaf with melted butter. Cool completely, about 2 hours.

Categories     Bread

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp yeast
1 tsp salt
1 cup ground flaxseed
1 1/2 cups lukewarm water

Steps:

  • Sift the dry ingredients together in a large bowl to remove any lumps. Add in the water in small portions, stirring to combine with a spatula.
  • Finish folding the dough by hand, or simply continue working it with a spatula. Place the dough into a large bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a lid, and leave it on the counter to rise overnight.
  • The next day, the dough should be bubbly, fluffy, and a little sticky. Flour your hands and form either one large or two smaller bread loaves. Place the loaves on a floured baking sheet, cover them with a towel, and let them rise for about an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F and make sure you have two racks in place. Pour 2 cups of hot, boiled water into a deep baking dish. Place this baking dish on the lower rack (the water helps the bread to rise and crisp). Place the bread on the top racks. After 10 minutes, remove the dish with the water. Continue baking for another 20-30 minutes depending on the size of your bread loaves. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a digital kitchen scale to measure ingredients for the most accurate results.
  • If you don't have a digital kitchen scale, use measuring cups and level off ingredients with a knife.
  • Be sure to measure the flax seed meal correctly. Too much flax seed meal can make the bread too dense.
  • For a softer crust, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter before baking.
  • To make sure the bread is done, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
