Honey and Flaxseed Bread

We really enjoyed this bread. We used as toast with jam. It was a perfect looking bread with great wheat flavor. The whole loaf was gone in one day. Shared by 5 people. If I make wheat bread again I will make this recipe. I didn’t add the whey powder or the liquid lecithin because I knew it would be eatten all in one day.

I didn’t have the liquid lecithin and whey powder at home, so I left them out. Also substituted flaxseed meal for the seeds because it is better absorbed by our bodies. This is a delicious, nutty bread. Great toasted with butter and mild honey!!!

Sorry, was just reading this recipe and wanted to spread caution that I believe flax seed oil can be a carcinogen when heated to certain temperatures and/or when it spoils (which from what I understand is a short shelf life). I have seen recommendations that you should buy the seed and grind as needed and keep in your freezer. Please look into this if you plan to make this recipe.

Thanks for sharing this receipe it’s so healthy and nutritious . Luv the idea of Flaxseed oil, really brings out a nice aroma after baking. Nice ham sandwich filled with lots of veggies ! Yummy……

This bread is a blessing!! My husband is on a limited diet and supplements for a yeast issue. The herbalist said that he could only eat homemade bread with raw honey, in moderation. I have always made homemade bread with freshly ground wheat–but because of the flaxseed and lecithin, this is much healthier. I even substituted coconut oil for part of the oil, since it is a yeast fighter and left out the bread flour and whey. My husband doesn’t like the bread cooked in the machine, but I just put it on the dough setting and flip it into a pan when the kneading is done. It makes wonderful rolls and hamburger buns, too. Like all homemade breads, it keeps much better if you immediately store leftovers in the freezer. Even my 5 children love it!!

1st time-didn’t rise. Tested yeast-ok 2nd time-added a little sugar with the yeast. 3rd time, added sugar-ok, top flattened slightly. The only thing I can attribute it to, even though it makes no sense to me, was that I used raw honey for times 1 and 3. Will keep using the recipe as it is healthy.

Excellent, but don’t use flax oil for cooking! Oils high in essential fatty acids are not good for cooking. In fact, heat can turn these healthy fats into harmful ones. Add flax oil to foods after cooking and just before serving. Still great with vegetable oil!

Maybe the whey powder was that important, or maybe this was just a dry, uneventful bread.

This has become the family favorite! I’ve been making bread for years and this is a GREAT way to get more fiber and Omega’s into the diet. DD’s 5.7 and 9 skarf it down as fast as I get it made. The Lesithin was a hastle to deal with at first, but I got one of those pump things for shampoo and conditioner bottles, put it on the bottle of lesithin. Two pumps is exactly 1/2 Tbsp, and no more trying to clean out the measuring device. I also usually use flax seed meal instead of straight seeds. Wither way turns out every time.

I have been making bread for a long, long time, and this bread is the best ever!

My husband and I love whole grain bread and this one is moist considering using only whole wheat flour. I already had the flax seed oil (from Vitamin World but saw in Walmart with vitamins) but I am not sure if the Omega Vitamins are baked away???… so substituting olive oil seems fine to me. I added a little pinch of cinnamon and cardamon (not enough to be sweet just good flavor).

Came out great! I made it in my bread machine and only added 2 tablespoons of sunflower seeds and two tablespoons of vital wheat gluten. yummy! will make again.

This turned out to be one of the best whole wheat breads that ever came out of my breadmaker! I didn’t have flaxseed oil or liquid lecithin, so I substituted safflower oil and granulated lecithin. Besides, flaxseed oil and liquid lecithin are a bit on the pricy side. I also experimented with agave nectar in place of the honey. It worked well. Whey powder is not very expensive, and can be purchased in bulk from most health food stores, including Whole Foods/Wild Oats and the Vitamin Cottage. Milled flaxseed is available in the health food sections of most supermarkets nowadays. My breadmaker calls for the water temperature to be 85 degrees F. Finally, table salt works just as well as sea salt, plus it’s readily available in iodized form, which is a good way to get this valuable micronutrient. This one’s a keeper! Thanks!

This bread is delicious! This is the first bread I made with my new bread machine and the whole family loves it, especially my 1 year old. What a healthy breakfast!

tastes good and good for you

This bread was very tasty! My husband loves it. The only problem I had was that I didn’t add any liquid lecithin. My bread was kind of dry, I think its because I skipped on the lecithin. I will make this again soon!

This is a great recipe. I have tried it and recommended it to many others who also love it. Even my picky husband eats it. Tasty and healthy.

Excellent recipe for a healthy homemade bread. My 2 year old eats a piece every morning with butter and jelly. I prepare the bread by putting all ingredients in the breadmaker and set it to manual. When finished let it rise for an hour, then put in a loaf pan and bake at 350 for 35 mins. This makes a nice loaf without it looking like it came out of a breadmaker . I also found out the hard way that you can buy flaxseed oil at Wal-Mart for alot cheaper than in a helthfood store.

Excellent recipe! Found all the ingredients at my local Organic Market and the bread is an absolute hit with my family. Very moist and makes great sandwiches.

I love this recipe. It has a really good taste, texture. I subsitute whole wheat flour with bread flour. I didn’t have flaxseed oil so I put olive oil. I put just only 1 t of salt and if you use five red stars yeast 1 t is enough. I just use basic setting and it turned out perfect. Thank you very very much.

I love this recipe. It is great the way it is written, and an easy one to experiment with. Lately I’ve used a combination of oat and rye flour with flax and sunflower seeds to make a really hardy, good bread. My whole family loves this recipe. Nice work.
