A wholesome and hearty bread recipe enriched with flaxseed and oat bran, perfect for a nutritious meal.
Combine the warm water, honey, and canola oil in the bread machine pan. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to properly activate the yeast.
In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, bread flour, flaxseed meal, vital wheat gluten, salt, and oat bran.
Sift the dry ingredients to ensure they are well combined and to remove any lumps.
Add the dry mixture to the bread machine pan with the wet ingredients. Select the Whole Wheat cycle and start the machine.
Check the dough consistency after a few minutes of kneading; it should be smooth and slightly sticky.
Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.
Use a gentle touch to avoid deflating the dough too much.
Cover the loaf pan with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
A warm, draft-free environment is ideal for proofing the dough.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even browning.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
Allowing the bread to cool ensures the texture sets properly.
