Flaxseed Bread Recipes

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:

• 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:

• Mix warm water and sugar together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved; stir in yeast. Set aside until a creamy foam starts to form, about 5 minutes.
• Combine bread flour, whole wheat flour, coconut oil, and salt in a food processor; pulse 4 times. Add chia seeds, wheat germ, flax seeds, millet, 1 tablespoon hemp seeds, 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds, and 1 tablespoon oats; pulse until incorporated.
• Pour yeast mixture over flour mixture in the food processor; process until a dough ball forms, about 1 minute.
• Turn dough into a well-oiled large bowl and cover with a damp towel; allow to rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch dough down and knead a few times. Form dough into an oblong shape and place in a greased bread pan. Lightly press the remaining hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, and oats onto the loaf. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm area for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and crust is lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Cool bread in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

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:

• 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:

• 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:

• 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:

• Mixing and Gluten Development
• Holding some of the water back, thoroughly mix the ingredients in a bowl. Add the held back water slowly and only if it's needed to incorporate the dry ingredients. Cover and let the dough rest 30 minutes.
• Coil fold the dough several times until it tightens, then let it rest about 30 minutes. Repeat the coil folding and resting 1-2 more times.
• This dough will take longer than most to ferment (12 or so hours at 65F) because of the oil in the flaxseed meal. I stopped the bulk fermentation after the dough had doubled.
• Pre-Shape, Bench Rest and Shape
• Scrape the dough out onto a lightly flour countertop and shape it into a ball, seam down. Cover and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
• Flour the top of the rested dough ball and flip it over. Shape the dough into a boule or batard, place it into the proofing basket seam-side up, and cover.
• Final Proof
• Let the dough proof 1-3 hours at room temperature or 10-14 hours in the refrigerator (or a combination of room and refrigerator proofing).
• Scoring and Baking
• Preheat your baking vessel 30 minutes at 500F.
• When the oven and dough are ready, flip the dough onto parchment paper, brush it with flour and score it.
• If you want to do a complicated score, trace lines with cooking string across the dough to create sections. Make cuts in the center of the dough and then work your way around section by section. See the photo gallery for more details.
• Load the dough into the baking vessel, cover and bake:
• 20 minutes at 500F
• 10 minutes at 450F
• Remove the lid and bake for 5-10 more minutes.
• The internal temperature of the bread should be 205F or higher. Let it cool at least an hour before cutting.

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.
