Flax Seed Bread Recipes

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:

• In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour, yeast and salt. In a large saucepan, heat the milk, brown sugar, honey and 2 tablespoons butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat until smooth. Stir in ground and whole flaxseed until blended. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a firm dough. , Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. , Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a loaf; place in a 9x5-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. , Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack. Melt remaining butter; brush over bread. Cool.

Steps:

• Place ingredients in bread machine pan in the order given.
• If you use all whole wheat flour the bread will have a slightly denser texture, but it is still very nice.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together water, sugar, and yeast; let stand 10 minutes.
• Add yeast mixture to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, along with both flours, oat bran, flaxseed, walnuts, sea salt, olive oil, and rosemary; mix until a dough forms, about 10 minutes.
• Coat a large bowl with oil. Add dough to bowl and turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; let stand in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, 2 to 3 hours.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle with cornmeal. Punch down dough and shape into a round loaf. Place dough on prepared baking sheet. Cover with a clean towel; let stand in a warm place for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees with a rack set in the center of the oven. Transfer baking sheet to oven and bake until browned, about 25 minutes. Let bread cool on a wire rack before serving.

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:

• 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:

• (Optional) Put the sunflower seeds, flax seeds, and poppy seeds in a hot, clean, dry skillet and stir them. Let them roast, with frequent stirrings, until they become fragrant. Be careful to make sure they don't scorch! Toasting the seeds makes them - and the bread - much more tasty. You may also roast the seeds in a 375F oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Mix the active starter, water, oil and honey together. (I use my Kitchen Aid with the dough hook for this process.).
• Add the (optional) seeds.
• Stir in the flax meal.
• Add the salt and then stir in the flour one cup at a time until the dough is too thick to stir.
• Pour the dough onto a floured work surface (or turn up the speed on your Kitchen Aid) and knead until the dough is resilient. The dough is a rather sticky dough; it's important not to over-flour the dough.
• Once the dough is well kneaded, turn it out into an oiled bowl, turn and cover.
• Let it rise until doubled.
• Deflate the dough, knead briefly, cut and shape into rough loaves.
• Let the dough sit, covered, for 30 minutes, then shape into final loaves.
• Let rise, covered, until doubled.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Bake 30 to 45 minutes.
• Note:.
• Flax seeds are easily found in health food stores. The oils in them can become rancid, so either buy just what you need, or store the seeds in the refrigerator or freezer.

Steps:

• Add all ingredients EXCEPT the sunflower seeds into the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
• Select basic white cycle on the bread machine. Press start.
• Add the sunflower seeds when the add ingredients signal sounds during the knead cycle.

Steps:

• Add ingredients in the order listed to the pan for your bread machine, making sure the yeast doesn't touch the liquid.
• Select wheat if possible.
• Select desired crust color.
• start bread machine and in a couple of hours you will have a wonderful loaf for the family to enjoy.
