Honey Flax Wheat Bread Recipes

WHOLE WHEAT HONEY OAT FLAX BREAD

Steps:

• Microwave milk for 1 minute (or warm it via stovetop)
• Pour yeast into milk, stir once and then let it sit for 5 minutes, or until the yeast foams/bubbles slightly on top
• Combine flour, whole wheat flour, oats, salt and flax seed (in a stand mixing bowl or a larger bowl) and stir to combine
• In a small bowl, combine butter and honey. Melt in microwave
• Pour in honey/butter mixture into the milk/yeast mixture. Then pour the liquid into the large bowl with the dry ingredients
• Using a dough hook, knead bread for 5 minutes. If you're not using a mixer, knead with hands (about 5-10 minutes). The texture should be springy to touch, but not too sticky.
• Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, so the mixture doesn't stick to the sides of the bowl
• Cover bowl with towel or plastic wrap and let it rise for one hour
• After the mixture bulks up and doubles in size, pick up the dough and form it into a log. Place dough into a greased 9x5 loaf pan.
• Cover with plastic wrap lightly and allow to rise for another hour until it has risen to the top of the loaf pan.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Bake at 350 for 35 - 40 minutes
• Poke a toothpick or fork in the center of the bread and make sure it comes out clean to ensure it is cooked
• Remove from the oven and turn loaf out onto cooling rack so it doesn't sink
• Allow to cool and enjoy!

HONEY WHEAT BREAD WITH CHIA AND FLAX

Steps:

• Place all ingredients into bread machine in the order listed and mix on the "dough" cycle. Punch down dough after the cycle is complete and roll into a sandwich loaf and place in a well-greased bread pan. Allow dough to rise in a warm location for about 45-60 minutes, then bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes.
• Optional - brush the dough with milk or egg wash prior to baking.
• * Note - prior to making this recipe, soak chia seeds in water to create a chia gel. I keep a fair amount of chia gel in my fridge and use about 2 tbsp of chia gel in this recipe, however food.com does not recognize Chia Gel as an ingredient.

HOMEMADE HONEY WHEAT BREAD WITH FLAX

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast into 1/4 cup warm water in a small bowl. Let sit until it has doubled in size, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a stand mixer using the hook attachment, mix warm water, salt and 3 1/2 cups of the wheat flour for about 5 seconds on lowest speed. It won't be mixed all the way, and that is okay!
• Once the yeast has doubled, add in yeast, oil, flax and honey. Mix on low speed for about 5 seconds. Slowly add in the rest of the flour (2 1/2 cups), and then let mix for 10 minutes on low speed.
• Divide the dough into two equal loaves, and place on two lightly floured towels. Fold the towels over so they are covering the loaves, and let rise for about 30 minutes.
• Bake loaves in a lightly greased loaf pan (with coconut oil) at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. It should have a nice crust that is golden on top.

Steps:

• Place warm water, butter, honey, whole wheat flour, flaxseed meal, vital wheat gluten, salt, dry milk, and yeast in a bread machine in the order listed. Run a basic wheat bread cycle, but adjust the cook timer to cut baking time down by 25 to 30 minutes. I time the bread and take it out when I see that it is not yet brown. If you like a crusty bread you may let it cook the entire time.
• Remove loaf from the machine after the cycle is done.
