Flaxseed Bread
2 T. active dry yeast
1 T. honey
3 1/4 c. warm water
1 T. sea salt
1 c. flaxseeds, ground
1 c. gluten flour
6 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. turbinado sugar
1/4 c. canola oil
Soften yeast and honey in warm water. Ground flaxseeds in the blender. Combine whole-wheat flour, gluten flour, gluten flour, ground flaxseeds, sea salt, and turbinado sugar in a large bowl. When yeast mixture rises, add oil. Stir in dry mixture. Knead until smooth about 10 minutes. Divide into 2 portions. Shape each into loaves. Let rise until double. Bake at 350* for 35 minutes. Delicious!
Ok - so I do a little bit different with this recipe. At this time I do not have any turbinado sugar - so I use brown sugar. And actually I usually only use 1/4 of a cup of brown sugar. The recipe in the book says that you will divide this dough into 3-4 loaves - well I changed that to 2 because if you divided it into 3-4 they would be little loaves- you choose what you want to do. This is really the best bread that I have tasted! I love the fact that it is high in omega-3 and in fiber!
This is the cookbook that this recipe came from. I have typed out the original recipe at the top - and in my writing have told of changes that I have made. I hope you will try this and will enjoy it as much as I have! :O)
I love homemade bread!
ReplyDeleteI've been eating mostly vegan for the past several months now, and bread is a staple for me now..flaxseed is also something new I'm adding into my diet nearly everyday (usually in my oatmeal).
Thanks for this recipe, my friend!
