Ingredients:
350mL water
2 tbsp oil
1/2 cup flax seed (Ground or whole. This can be omitted, but I highly suggest giving it a try)
2 cups white flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tbsp white sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 tsp yeast
Add all ingredients, in order, to baking pan.
Insert pan in bread machine and select 'sweet cycle'.
When finished (breadmachines can range between 2.5-4 hours on their sweet cycle, be sure to check how long yours is), remove from pan as soon as possible and let cool for a few minutes.
Enjoy!
Nutrition Notes:
I really like that this bread is 50% whole wheat, it is low in added fat, and the flax seed adds terrific texture, softness, and a load of omega-3. Over all, the health value is almost as good as you can get, the recipe is easy, and it tastes great!

I have made this bread 5 or 6 times now and we LOVE it! I prefer not to let it bake in the machine, putting it into 2 loaf pans (slightly smaller than standard size I think) and baking in the oven. I find the bread is typically lighter and less dense this way. I haven't bought bread in weeks! Thank-You!
I second Julie. We have only bought a loaf or two of bread since we got our hands on this recipe.
Julie - what temp do you bake it for, and for how long?
350 for about 20-25 minutes for my 2 small loaf pans. I also let it rise in the pans for about 1/2 an hour before baking. (or more if I forget about it!) 3 cheers for flax!
If you ladies are being serious, I'm super thrilled!
Do you put it in the bread machine to knead, or do you do that yourself?
