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 WHOLE-WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir honey into warm water, then sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Stir together flour and salt in a medium bowl, then stir in yeast mixture and melted butter just until a dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Punch down dough. Shape into an 8-inch square, about 1 inch thick. Fold in two opposite sides of dough to meet in middle, slightly overlapping. Press seam to seal. Place dough, seam-side down, in a buttered 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle with flour. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm spot until dough is about 3/4 inch above top of pan, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Transfer pan to oven and immediately reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until top is golden brown and bottom sounds hollow when tapped, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pan on wire rack 20 minutes, then turn out bread onto rack and let cool completely. Bread can be stored, tightly wrapped, at room temperature up to 3 days or frozen up to 3 months.

WHEAT AND FLAX BREAD

Steps:

• In 1-quart saucepan, heat milk, water and 1 tablespoon softened butter over medium heat to 120°F to 130°F (butter will not melt). In large bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour, the salt and yeast. Add milk mixture and honey. Beat with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Beat on medium speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Stir in whole wheat flour, oats, flaxseed and enough remaining all-purpose flour to make dough easy to handle.
• On lightly floured surface, knead dough about 5 minutes or until smooth and springy. Grease medium bowl with shortening or cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until double in size. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.
• Grease bottom and sides of 8x4-inch loaf pan with shortening or cooking spray. On lightly floured surface, roll dough into 12x8-inch rectangle. Roll up rectangle tightly, beginning at 8-inch side. Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal. Pinch each end of roll to seal; fold ends under loaf. Place seam side down in pan. Cover and let rise in warm place 45 to 60 minutes or until double in size.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Uncover loaf. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pan to cooling rack. Brush top of loaf with melted butter. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
