Whole Wheat Flax Bread

Bake rolls at 375° F for 20-25 minutes

The flax seed doesn't affect the taste or texture, it's just there to be healthy.

2 tsp yeast
2 tsp sugar
2 cups warm water
4 cups flour
1 Tbls. salt
1/3 cup ground flax seed

Dissolve the yeast and sugar into 3/4 cup of warm water.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and flax seed. When the yeast is foaming on the water, add that to the flour, as well as the rest of the water. Stir it together, then turn out onto the counter to knead it. Use flour if necessary. Knead it thoroughly, until the dough stretches rather than tears when it is pulled.

Coat the inside of the bowl and the dough with oil. Put the dough in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour.

Knead the dough a bit, and shape into a log. Oil the inside of the bread pan and place the dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.

Spray the inside of the cold oven with water and place the bread pan in the center of the oven. Turn the oven to 350 F. Bake for 40-45 minutes (including pre-heating time), until the crust is a deep golden brown on top, and golden brown on the sides and bottom.
