Ingredients

  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 tsp yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Sift the dry ingredients together in a large bowl to remove any lumps. Add in the water in small portions, stirring to combine with a spatula.
  2. Finish folding the dough by hand, or simply continue working it with a spatula. Place the dough into a large bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a lid, and leave it on the counter to rise overnight.
  3. The next day, the dough should be bubbly, fluffy, and a little sticky. Flour your hands and form either one large or two smaller bread loaves. Place the loaves on a floured baking sheet, cover them with a towel, and let them rise for about an hour.
  4. Preheat the oven to 450°F and make sure you have two racks in place. Pour 2 cups of hot, boiled water into a deep baking dish. Place this baking dish on the lower rack (the water helps the bread to rise and crisp). Place the bread on the top racks. After 10 minutes, remove the dish with the water. Continue baking for another 20-30 minutes depending on the size of your bread loaves. Enjoy!
