Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 0.25 cups Molasses
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Ground flaxseed
• 0.5 cups Quick oats
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoons Honey

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix warm water and molasses until combined.

Step 2

Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the molasses mixture and let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, quick oats, and salt.

Step 4

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a rough dough forms.

Step 5

Stir in the vegetable oil and honey, and knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard loaf pan.

Step 8

Punch down the dough, shape into a loaf, and place it into the prepared pan.

Step 9

Cover and let it rise again for 20-30 minutes, or until it has risen about 1 inch above the pan.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
