Ingredients

6 1/2 cups flour, divided (a mix of whole wheat and white works well)

3/4 cup ground flax seeds (flax meal)

3 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons salt

1 tablespoon fast rising instant yeast or regular yeast

2 cups water

1 cup milk

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

options- use a spiced olive oil, or add chopped dried herbs to the dough. You can also brush the tops of the loaves with oil/butter before baking

Directions

Set aside 1 cup flour.

Mix remaining flour, flax seed, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl.

Heat water, milk, and oil until hot to the touch (about 125-130°F) but DO NOT BOIL.

Stir milk mixture 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.

Divide dough in 1/2 and shape into loaves.

Place into 2 greased (8 ½ inch x 4 ½ inch) loaf pans.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until dough has doubled in volume (about 40-50 minutes).

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 30-35 minutes.

Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.

Note- This bread can eaisly be made with a stand mixter. Just mix dry ingredients with paddle and use the dough hook for kneeding-- you may need a bit more flour for this.
