FlaxSeed and my Whole Wheat Bread

Not to boast but.....I made a loaf of Whole Wheat Bread today and it turned out AWESOME!!! So I am sharing the recipe with you! I use ground flax seed in place of the oil so that we get the healthy fats. The bag I buy is Premium Gold brand Organic Golden Omega Flax Seed. I get it at Costco for a great price and it lasts a long time. It's already ground and easy to add to just about anything, i.e. yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies, etc. And sooooo good for you! If you are getting the RIGHT fats (omega 3's)  in your diet, you will find your cravings for the BAD fats will decrease. Now go buy some flax seed! Did you also know that the Omegas are great for your brain too? I had a lot while pregnant and my kids love my bread. So see, it makes for smart kids too :)

Whole Wheat Bread

1. Combine in mixer bowl:
1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
1 Tbsp. active dry yeast

2. Add:
1/4 cup honey
1 Tbsp. molasses
1 Tbsp oil ( I substitute with 3 Tbsp. ground flax seed)

3. Stir dry ingredients together in a small bowl, then add to liquids in mixer.
3 1/3 cups whole wheat flour (usually takes more, just add a little more at a time until no longer too sticky)
2 tsp. salt (I cut back slightly on this too)

4. Attach kneading hook to mixer. Mix on low for 15 minutes or until dough is developed.

5. Turn into a greased bowl, and cover with plastic. Let rise for 20-30 minutes or until doubled in bulk.

6. Form into loaf. Place in greased bread pan. Cover and let rise until top of dough is 2 inches above the top of pan.

7. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes (I do 40 minutes) Turn onto rack to cool.

ENJOY!!!!
