Quote of the Day

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best thought by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

honeyed walnut & flaxseed bread: stand mixer & bread oven

This bread is sweet and nutty and rather dense. It does not like being sliced too thin, but does keep for several days (in theory, that is, we always eat it right up).
Honeyed Walnut & Flaxseed Bread

1 1/4 C water
5 Tb honey
3 Tb walnut oil
4 C flour +/-
1 t salt
1 1/4 t breadmaker yeast
1 C chopped walnuts (toasted, or not, your call)
1/2 C flaxseed



recipe heavily modified from Best Bread Machine Recipes
Put ingredients into your stand mixer and run mixer on low for 20 minutes. Pull the dough off the hook and out of bowl (I just balance it in one hand for a minute). Flour inside of bowl and return dough to bowl; leave bread hook in place.

L
et dough rise until double (about 2 hours) and then pop the bread hook back into the bowl. Knead for 4 minutes.

T
urn oven on to 400-425 and put the empty bread-oven into the oven to preheat.

L
et dough rise until double (about 20-40 minutes) and then put the dough into the hot bread-oven.

Bake for 20-30 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when thumped.
