The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4.17 star rating.

I also revised this recipe... -1/2 cup wheat flour -1/2 cup ground flax seed -2c bread flour -1/14 cups water -No gluten -1 1/4 cups water. I prepared the dough in the bread machine and pulled out after 1 1/2 hr dough process. I kneaded and twisted - then placed in a 9x5 bread tin. This bread was SO wonderful! The crust was dark and crispy - the bread was perfect for making sandwiches and tolerated thin slices. I feel good knowing that my family is getting the benefit of the flax and whole wheat! Yum!

The water on this recipe is way too high. Back off to around 1c of water and add if necessary. I ended up adding around 3/4c of additional flour, making this a 1.5lb loaf (thus it didn't have enough honey or flax). I did a pretty coarse grind on the flax (just enough to break the seeds up) and it was great in the bread, but there wasn't enough in the bread. If you decide to do this recipe w/ the current water amount given, add about 1/2c to 3/4c of flour, make it 6tbl of honey and 1c of flax and it'll be great. Good luck! I'll be doing this one again.

This recipe has way too much water & honey. I had to keep adding flour and the loaf was very heavy and sunken in the middle. It also did not completely bake.

Even though this is a healthy recipe it didn't taste yeasty enough for me. It was OK with either fruit spread on it or peanut butter, butter, or whatever, but I wasn't crazy about the taste. I followed other good advice about using less water and it did fine in my machine.

I have made this bread twice and both times it never got very high at all and I have had to add at least 3/4 cup of flour because it was too runny perhaps is there too much water?

I ended up adding extra flour, but expected that due to the previous reviews. This bread is wonderful. I've been trying different recipes with lots of fiber, and this is my favorite. It's light, nutty, and makes great toast. I'll be using this for sandwiches since the honey isn't overpowering in the taste. This is going to be a hard recipe to beat!!

Yummy! The nutty flax flavor and honey go so well together. I doubled the recipe and made it by hand, using 1 C flax and 1/4 C honey total. Really good! I'm just getting into using flax and this makes me eager to try more recipes. Thanks!

Excellent. I make a couple of loaves of this each week. My six year old loves it and I like it enough to eat it plain. I have a slice of it almost every morning. I use two cups of hard white whole wheat flour and a cup of processed all-purpose flour. This makes a 1 1/2 pound loaf. Works great for me.

My bread machine's motor konked out mid-knead so I had to finish the kneading off manually and cooked it in the oven. It still turned out great though! The first loaf didn't last the day so I quickly had to make another. A nice, hearty, healthy bread with great taste and texture!

A soft and tasty loaf. After reading the other reviews, I decided to add 1/2 cup extra whole wheat flour; I left everything else the same. I used the 1.5 lb, "grain" setting on my bread machine. It rose to a tall, square-ish loaf.

Outstanding recipe for a healthy and filling loaf of bread. People sample the sandwiches I make using the bread from this recipe and marvel at how hearty and delicious the bread is!

The whole family loved this bread - even my most picky 5-year-old! I also had problem with caving, even after decreasing the amount of water. Will definitely make again...with more minor adjustments.

Like other reviewers, I had to add flour to make the dough elastic. I added more than others it seems--about 3/4 c. Like Kim (another reviewer) I don't use a bread machine, but this turned out great in an 8x4 pan in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

Oh, these rolls were so good! They were my first taste of flax seed, and I was so happy with them. I added quite a bit of wheat flour to my bread machine, though, because it just wasn't elastic enough.

Bread machine recipes never work out the first time due to varying factors. The first time I tried this recipe the dough was too weak and the bread fell. After adjusting water, yeast, and gluten, it came out perfect. My adjustments: 1 cup water 2 tsp yeast 1 tbsp gluten 1 tbsp whole flax seed Bake on whole wheat cycle
