I MADE THIS BREAD TODA TWICE AND USED IT FOR ROLLS. THERE WAS TOO MUCH WATER FOR THE FLOUR. I HAD TO ADD PROBABLY A CUP OF FLOUR. I USE WHOLE WHEAT BREAD FLOUR ENTIRELY AND VITAL WHEAT GLUTEN. I JUST PUT IT ON THE DOUGH CYCLE THEN MADE MY ROLLS. I DID HAVE TO ADD A LITTLE FLOUR TO HANDLE IT. BUT THE ROLLS TASTED DELICIOUS. I LIKE THAT IT HAD FLAX IN IT. I LOVE MAKING HEALTHY BREAD. NEXT TIME I WILL EITHER ADD MORE FLOUR OR NOT SO MUCH WATER. WE REALLY LIKED IT. I AM TAKING THE ROLLS TO A FRIENDS FOR THANKSGIVING TOMORROW. THANKS FOR THE RECIPE.phylskil32

I really enjoyed this bread, but it's such a high content of seeds and grains it spoils fast. I mean, really fast . . .I shouldve put it in the fridge. I know better, since I make a ton of homemade bread, but I didn't think about it. I'll try it again, and store in the fridge--not my usual m.o., but it'll keep longer. I like the nutty, rich taste, and it's a decent bread to make. I did make sure that I put in the vital wheat gluten to help it rise. Thanks for the recipe.

This was pretty good and I love the use of flax. However, I had to add a bunch of extra flour to get it to the right consistency. I am not sure how much extra I put in as I just added it until the ball of dough in the machine seemed right.

I have made this bread.. It is excellent and really healthy. You should like the nutty flavor of flax seeds. I did reduce the water by 1/4 of a cup though. This will be one of my top bread recipe. Thanks for the recipe.

I put ground flax in a lot of things I make, so I thought this would be a great way to get more in our diet, but I was wrong. Tripled the amounts, made as directed, with a tad less water and had no gluten. Loaves came out light and springy, but the taste was awful. Gave it two stars instead of one because maybe it's just that my family's personal taste doesn't run towards flax, but it was bitter and a little... off tasting.

This came out great! Airy, light and delicious. It sounds like it might be a boring or heavy loaf based on the title, but it's really terrific. I added a seed mixture toward the end so the crust was extra tasty (and seedy), but this would've been good without that addition.

I should have read the reviews before I made this. It was very runny. I had to add flour. Taste was fair.

This is excellent! It's my new favorite wheat bread to make. The only thing I did differently was use olive oil instead of vegetable oil. I used the whole wheat cycle and medium crust. Love it!

This was exactly what I was looking for - a bread recipe that tasted good AND that my daughter with food allergies (bananas, nuts/peanuts, egg, dairy) could enjoy along with the rest of our family! I typically don't review recipes if I change them, but I will this time. I went with what other reviewers suggested and reduced the liquid to 1 cup, and I used rice millk in place of the water/milk powder combo. I did not have any wheat gluten, so I didn't use that. I increased both flours to 1 1/2 cups each. It came out nice and dense with a good crust. I anticipate this being a good toasting and sandwich bread. Everyone in our house gives this bread 2 thumbs up. Definately will be a regular in our pantry.
