Flax Bread

Directions

1. 1
   Set aside 1 cup all-purpose flour from the total amount.
2. 2
   Mix remaining flour, ground flaxseed, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl.
3. 3
   Heat water, milk, and oil until hot to the touch (about 125-130° F or 50-55°C). DO NOT BOIL.
4. 4
   Stir hot liquids into dry mixture. Mix in enough reserved flour to make a soft dough that does not stick to the bowl.
5. 5
   Turn out onto floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Cover dough and let rest 10 minutes.
6. 6
   Cut dough in half and shape into loaves.
7. 7
   Place into two greased (81/2 x 41/2 inches or 21 x 12 cm) loaf pans.
8. 8
   Cover and let rise in a warm place until dough has doubled in volume (about 40-50 minutes).
9. 9
   Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes.
10. 10
    Remove from pans and let cool on wire racks.
11. 11
    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.
12. 12
    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.
