After reading the previous reviews, I also made just a few adjustments. Added another 1/4 cup bread flour and added 1 additional tablespoon gluten. Came out wonderful!...great taste and consistency, nice crunchy crust and soft,springy inside. Made in bread machine. I put flax seed in my breads before, just not this much. Was pleasantly surprised with this recipe and the healthfulness. Found my new bread recipe!

Flavor wise this is a 5* recipe. But direction wise this recipe is a 3*. I usually read the reviews before attempting a recipe but figured this would be no fail. Little did I know the dough would be extremely runny and I would have to add an extra 3/4 cup of flour. I wouldn't have minded if I were baking this in my bread machine, but I just used it to mix and baked the bread in the oven. I ended up having to bake this in the oven at 350 for 40 minutes and it was still to moist. So back in the oven at 375 for an additional 20 minutes. I will surely make this again, but will add less water like other reviewers mentioned.

I really liked this bread probably because has a lot of flaxseed and it's dense. I omitted the wheat gluten because I didn't have any and reduced the amount of honey to 2 Tbsp.

I LOVED THIS!!!! It was by far my favorite bread recipe. SO good. I didn't use the wheat gluten, and I also didn't have dry milk powder, I just used milk instead of water. Amazing, simple, and for sure a colon cleanser!

I am a great believer in flax. This is a wonderful way to deliver this wholesome nutrient. The bread is lighter than most and has a nutty taste on the palate. Easy to make, lasts in a breadbox. i give it two thumbs-up!

Hi Sandra, I love this Flax seed bread, it is the best I have ever tasted. I don't use a bread machine and it is a little runny to kneed by hand, but it is worth the effort Thanks Violet

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.
