Directions

1

Place yeast, honey and warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk to combine. Allow to sit for 15-20 minutes, until mixture has puffed up.
2

Fit mixer with dough hook. Stir in salt, then mix in flour, 1/2 cup at a time, with the mixer running on low. Mix in flax seed, if using. Mix on low for 4-5 minutes, until a ball has formed. Dough should be slightly sticky. Mix in diced apple and walnuts until combined.
