Whole Wheat Bread

I woke early this morning, jumped out of bed and decided to make bread. It just felt like a bread making day. I used a new recipe. I liked it so much I thought I would post it. It is an easy recipe to use and it makes great tasting bread. I found it on a bag of organic flax seed. I think the brand name is Arrowhead.



Whole Wheat Flax Loaf Preheat oven to 350



13/4 cups warm water

1 Tbsp. yeast

1 Tbsp. honey

1 tsp. salt

2 tsp. dry milk powder

2 Tbsps. canola oil

4 cups whole wheat flour

1/4 cup flax seed



In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.



Add honey, salt, milk powder, oil and 2 cups whole wheat flour.



Stir well.



Add flax seed and remaining flour.



Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic.



Oil a loaf pan.



Shape dough and place it in the pan.



Cover, and let rise until double in bulk.



Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes, or until done. The bread will have a hollow sound when you tap it, if it is done.



Makes one loaf.



This bread tastes delicious while it is still warm from baking. Take it out of the pan and let it rest awhile before cutting a slice. Spread a little butter or margarine on the top right after the bread comes out of the oven. The butter softens the crust a little bit. I am sure it will make great toast, or it can be used for sandwiches. This bread is dense, so it is not like a loaf of Wonder Bread. Make sure the loaf has cooled completely before placing it in a container or plastic bag.
