Super Foods Recipe: Classic Flax Bread

Super Foods Recipe:  Classic Flax Bread (Yield: 2 loaves)

Ingredients:

• 6 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup ground flaxseeds (flax meal)
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon fast rising instant yeast
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup 2% milk
• 1 tablespoon canola oil

Instructions:

• Set aside 1 cup all-purpose flour from the total amount.
• Mix remaining flour, ground flax seed, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl.
• Heat water, milk, and oil until hot to the touch (about 125-130°F or 50-55°C). DO NOT BOIL. 
• Stir hot liquids into dry mixture. Mix in enough reserved flour to make a soft dough that does not stick to the bowl.
• Turn out onto floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Cover dough and let rest 10 minutes.
• Cut dough in ½ and shape into loaves. 
• Place into 2 greased (8 ½ inch x 4 ½ inch or 21 cm x 12 cm) loaf pans.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place until dough has doubled in volume (about 40-50 minutes).
• Bake at 400 °F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes.
• Remove from pans and let cool on wire racks.
