Flax Bread image

Flaxseeds are a healthy addition to almost any diet. Research shows that this food is a real cancer-fighter. This is a really good bread. Rustic and nutty flavored but not overpowering. My DH enjoyed this bread toasted. I made a second batch and made 6 rolls and a mini loaf (freehand) of bread which I then added butter and garlic to after it was cooked, then toasted for a spaghetti dinner. DH LOVED it this way. This recipe adopted from the Caring4Cancer newsletter. ABM directions- below Time includes resting and rising time. These times will vary depending on method, altitude and temperature in your neck of the woods. NOTE: (3/8/12) Most everyone has had to add in the additional flour. I used an additional 1/2 cup as well. I still follow the directions keeping 1 c aside to add in afterwards because I tried it adding it in in the beginning and it did not seem to come together as well, too dry to start. I also have made this using 2 c whole wheat flour +3 1/2 c AP flour to start and then used less than 1/2 c of additional flour. Please use your own experiance and jusdgement.

Time 1h40m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup ground flax seeds (flax meal, I like Bob Mills organic)
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon instant fast rising yeast
2 cups water
1 cup organic 2% low-fat milk (I used 2%- regular milk)
1 tablespoon canola oil

Steps:

  • Set aside 1 cup all-purpose flour from the total amount.
  • Mix remaining flour, ground flaxseed, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl.
  • Heat water, milk, and oil until hot to the touch (about 125-130° F or 50-55°C). DO NOT BOIL.
  • Stir hot liquids into dry mixture. Mix in enough reserved flour to make a soft dough that does not stick to the bowl.
  • Turn out onto floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Cover dough and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Cut dough in half and shape into loaves.
  • Place into two greased (8½ x 4½ inches or 21 x 12 cm) loaf pans.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place until dough has doubled in volume (about 40-50 minutes).
  • Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes.
  • Remove from pans and let cool on wire racks.
  • for ABM- follow your ABM directions for ingredient order. Check during first cycle to see if more flour is required and add in as needed. Set to 2 lb loaf if using full cycle.
  • If using dough cycle only seperate into 2 loaves into greased pans or as I do on bread stone covered in cornmeal. Set for 2nd rise and then cook as directed. I made 1 loaf and 6 sandwich muffins with this recipe.

This bread is a great way to get your daily dose of fiber. It's also very filling and satisfying. I like to eat it with butter and honey.

I'm not a huge fan of flaxseed, but this bread was surprisingly good. The flavor was mild and the texture was perfect. I would definitely make it again.

This bread is a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it was a little lighter and fluffier.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The bread was dry and crumbly. I think I might have used too much flaxseed.

This bread was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I might have overmixed the dough. But the flavor was good and it was still a healthy option.

This flax bread was a delightful surprise! The texture was perfect, with a slightly crispy crust and a soft and fluffy interior. The flavor was nutty and earthy, with a hint of sweetness from the honey. I'll definitely be making this again!
