Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
Stir in the honey, olive oil, and salt until everything is well combined.
Add the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, chia seeds, and ground flaxseed. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf with a towel and let it rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until it has risen just above the edge of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
