Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 cups bread flour
• 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
• 1 ½ teaspoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
• ½ cup flax seeds
• ½ teaspoon instant yeast
• 1 ½ cups cool water

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine bread flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, flax seeds, salt, and yeast in a large bowl. Add cool water; mix, without kneading, until dough is wet and sticky. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; let sit at room temperature until dough is bubbly and swelled, about 12 hours.

Step 2

Grease a loaf pan with oil; dust with 1 1/2 teaspoons whole wheat flour. Place dough in pan; dust the top with remaining whole wheat flour. Poke holes in the dough using a chopstick or make cuts with a knife.

Step 3

Cover loaf pan with plastic wrap. Let dough rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place an oven-safe cup of water in the oven.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until chestnut-brown on top, about 45 minutes. Lift bread out of the pan using pot holders; let cool thoroughly on a rack.
