Flax Meal Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Place ingredients in your bread machine as directed by your manufacturer.
• Set to dough cycle. Check the consistency after about 10 minutes - if it looks dry, add a little more water.
• After initial rise, remove, shape in a large round loaf (or whatever you like), let rise again on a cornmeal dusted baking pan.
• Preheat oven to 400 deg. If desired, brush loaf with an egg wash (one egg beaten with 1 tbl. cold water). Slash loaf with sharp knife. Place in oven. After 15 min., reduce temperature to 350 deg.
• Bake for an additional 25 minutes or until loaf is done - an instant thermometer should read 205 deg.
• Turn onto cooling rack and let cool.
• Note: If using flax seed, 2/3 cups seed will grind into 1 cup flax meal.
• Note2: If using egg wash, you may also sprinkle loaf with whole flax or poppy seeds.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients. Stir in the warm water, honey and olive oil until it forms soft dough. Turn out dough onto a floured surface, add more flour if dough is too sticky and knead dough for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes in a warm place.
• On a floured surface cut dough in half. Roll dough to form a French bread like loaf. Place on a baking sheet lined with nonstick liner. Lightly flour the bottom of loaf and place on liner. Cover again with clean towel and let rise for about 30 minutes. I found this took much longer for me.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake loaves for 30 minutes or until sounds hollow when tapped on bottom.

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.

Steps:

• Set aside 1 cup flour.
• Mix remaining flour, flax seed, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl.
• Heat water, milk, and oil until hot to the touch (about 125-130°F) but DO NOT BOIL.
• Stir milk mixture 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.
• Divide dough in 1/2 and shape into loaves.
• Place into 2 greased (8 ½ inch x 4 ½ inch) loaf pans.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place until dough has doubled in volume (about 40-50 minutes).
• Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 30-35 minutes.
• Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• Place ingredients in bread machine pan in order given.
• Choose 2 pound loaf size, grain setting, and desired crust darkness and start bread machine.
• To serve, cool, cut loaf in half, then slice each half in 10 slices- yielding 20 slices.

Steps:

• Mix all dry ingredients in a straight-sided coffee mug.
• Once mixed, add egg and butter and beat until smooth.
• Microwave for 1-2 minutes until done (watch carefully, as it can dry out quickly and get really brick-like).
• Allow to cool slightly, then remove from coffee cup and cut into slices.

Steps:

• Add the ingredients in the order listed and sprinkle the ground flax over top. I use the whole wheat, 2 lb, and light crust settings and make the bread overnight so it's fresh first thing in the morning. I have also added a 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds sprinkled over top of the flaxseed.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Combine dry ingredients and mix with fork or whisk.
• Make a well in the center and add wet ingredients.
• Mix, making sure eggs integrate well.
• Let sit for five minutes.
• Spread on greased cookie sheet or silicone mat to desired thickness, I like it to be about 9 x 10 inches.
• Bake 10-15 minute.
