I didn't have the liquid lecithin and whey powder at home, so I left them out. Also substituted flaxseed meal for the seeds because it is better absorbed by our bodies. This is a delicious, nutty bread. Great toasted with butter and mild honey!!!

Sorry, was just reading this recipe and wanted to spread caution that I believe flax seed oil can be a carcinogen when heated to certain temperatures and/or when it spoils (which from what I understand is a short shelf life). I have seen recommendations that you should buy the seed and grind as needed and keep in your freezer. Please look into this if you plan to make this recipe.

This bread is a blessing!! My husband is on a limited diet and supplements for a yeast issue. The herbalist said that he could only eat homemade bread with raw honey, in moderation. I have always made homemade bread with freshly ground wheat--but because of the flaxseed and lecithin, this is much healthier. I even substituted coconut oil for part of the oil, since it is a yeast fighter and left out the bread flour and whey. My husband doesn't like the bread cooked in the machine, but I just put it on the dough setting and flip it into a pan when the kneading is done. It makes wonderful rolls and hamburger buns, too. Like all homemade breads, it keeps much better if you immediately store leftovers in the freezer. Even my 5 children love it!!

1st time-didn't rise. Tested yeast-ok 2nd time-added a little sugar with the yeast. 3rd time, added sugar-ok, top flattened slightly. The only thing I can attribute it to, even though it makes no sense to me, was that I used raw honey for times 1 and 3. Will keep using the recipe as it is healthy.

Excellent, but don't use flax oil for cooking! Oils high in essential fatty acids are not good for cooking. In fact, heat can turn these healthy fats into harmful ones. Add flax oil to foods after cooking and just before serving. Still great with vegetable oil!

Maybe the whey powder was that important, or maybe this was just a dry, uneventful bread.

This has become the family favorite! I've been making bread for years and this is a GREAT way to get more fiber and Omega's into the diet. DD's 5.7 and 9 skarf it down as fast as I get it made. The Lesithin was a hastle to deal with at first, but I got one of those pump things for shampoo and conditioner bottles, put it on the bottle of lesithin. Two pumps is exactly 1/2 Tbsp, and no more trying to clean out the measuring device. I also usually use flax seed meal instead of straight seeds. Wither way turns out every time.

My husband and I love whole grain bread and this one is moist considering using only whole wheat flour. I already had the flax seed oil (from Vitamin World but saw in Walmart with vitamins) but I am not sure if the Omega Vitamins are baked away???... so substituting olive oil seems fine to me. I added a little pinch of cinnamon and cardamon (not enough to be sweet just good flavor).
