Here's our favorite flax bread recipe to make by bread machine (or by hand).

1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
1 tablespoon honey or molasses
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1/2 cup milled flax
1/2 cup pumpernickel
2 cups King Arthur 100% White Whole Wheat Flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup King Arthur Unbleached Special Bread Flour

Prepare a supple dough, either by hand, or by machine. Cover the dough and allow it to rise. When the dough has doubled in bulk, shape it into a nice round ball, place it on a pumpernickel-sprinkled baking sheet, cover and let rise until almost doubled. Slash the top artfully and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Yield: 1 wholesome loaf.

Hint: For optimum freshness/crustiness, store bread, uncovered, cut-side down on your counter. Yes, this really works!
