Ingredients

• 240 ml Warm water
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 2.25 tsp Active dry yeast
• 240 g Whole wheat flour
• 120 g All-purpose flour
• 60 g Milled flax seed
• 1.5 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 240 ml of warm water and 2 tablespoons of honey. Stir until the honey is dissolved.

Step 2

Sprinkle 2.25 teaspoons of active dry yeast over the water mixture and let it rest for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix 240 g of whole wheat flour, 120 g of all-purpose flour, 60 g of milled flax seed, and 1.5 teaspoons of salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the yeast mixture, stirring to incorporate as you go.

Step 5

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Form the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly greased bowl, and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 7

Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 8

Cover again and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes, or until it reaches the top of the loaf pan.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 10

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
