Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

2 tablespoons warm water PLUS

1 1/4 cups warm water

3 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon canola oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup flaxseed meal

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour

1 3/4 cups bread flour

Preparation

* (Using blender or coffee mill to grind seeds to the consistency of cornmeal; usually 2/3 cup flaxseed = 1 cup meal)

I use my bread machine for this loaf and it always works well. If you don't have a bread machine, just use the recipe as you would for any loaf, proofing the yeast, adding honey, oil and salt and water, then incorporate the flax and flour, kneading into soft dough, Knead for 10 minutes and round up into bowl, allow a raise, punch down and place in bread pan.

Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes.
