flaxseed wheat bread have a recipe for this but haven't tried it if anyone wants it
juliewn, Mar 13, 3:10am
Hi. yes please Jan. that would be great. I've been including flaxseeds when making a variety of things lately, as they're so good for us. Bran Muffins are especially good with them in. I'll look forward to trying your recipe. thanks. :-)

For those who don't have a manual with an appliance, including bread machines, manuals are sometimes available on this site: http://www.kitchenmanuals.com/

For making bread dough the night before needed: I've sometimes made a dough the night before needed, and have found it's best to leave it in a bowl, covered firmly with plastic wrap, and place it in the fridge. It won't rise as much overnight as it will if left out of the fridge. Next morning, remove the plastic wrap and push the dough down with your hand so you're pushing the air out of the dough. Turn onto a lightly floured board, and knead lightly to form a smooth dough. Shape as you want for rolls, or place in a tin for loaves, cover with a cloth and leave in a warm place to rise till doubled in size. usually about an hour to an hour and a half. Bake as usual.
juliewn, Mar 13, 3:14am
ps. as the dough takes a little while to warm
again from being in the fridge, it will do that as it's rising, so you'll have delicious home made goodies.

To make Hot Cross Buns with chocolate replacing the dried fruit in a recipe. you can use any hot cross bun recipe, substituting chocolate chips, melts or buttons in place of the sultana's, currants or raisins that are usually in a recipe. Rise and bake as per the recipe. and enjoy.

And. Melted chocolate or white chocolate would make a delicious cross on Hot Cross Buns - leave the buns to cool, then drizzle or use an icing piper to make the cross. Sound decadent!!

Good luck

Flax Seed Wheat Bread Flax Seed Wheat Bread-
makes 1 one pound loaf-
200g bread flour,
50g whole wheat flour,
1 teaspoon salt,
100g flax seeds,
2 teaspoons malt powder,
150 grams water,
1 teaspoon instant yeast.

Combine the flours, salt, seeds, malt, and yeast in a bowl. Stir in the water and mix until thoroughly combined. This dough is not a terribly moist one: it should be slightly tacky but not sticky. When shaped into a ball it should easily hold its shape.
jan2242, Mar 13, 9:11pm
cont. The seed and bran from the whole wheat prevent a high level of gluten development in this dough, so extensive kneading is not necessary.
Once all of the ingredients are thoroughly combined, place the ball of dough in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to rise for an hour to an hour and a half.
Shape the dough into 1 large or two small loaves, cover the loaves with plastic, and give them another hour to rise. In the meantime, preheat the oven and baking stone to 425 degrees.
jan2242, Mar 13, 9:12pm
cont. Brush the top of the loaves with water, score the loaves, and place them in the oven. Bake them at 425 for 20 minutes, rotate them 180 degrees, then bake them another 20 to 25 minutes. When done, they will be nicely browned on the outside, make a hollow sound when tapped upon, and register approximately 205 degrees in the center when measured with an instant read thermometer.

Yummm. that sounds very good Jan,, :-) thanks for sharing your recipe here. I've been adding other seeds and grains also to baking and rolls lately - pumpkin, sesame, flax and sunflower seeds. rolled oats, wheatgerm, oat bran, etc. it's nice to be able to have a change while still having lovely healthy goodies.
rambo24, Mar 14, 8:22pm
thanks heaps for your ideas i have a breadmaker and every time i try and make bread it never works out! might try "by hand" and see if that makes a difference, thanks again.

Juliewn Yum - rolled oats. Now that is different. How did that come out!
juliewn, Mar 15, 2:44pm
Hi Rambo. let us know how you go. and enjoy your delicious goodies. Hi Jan. I used a cup of rolled oats in place of one cup of flour when I added the rolled oats to the bread roll dough I was making. I expected to see the oats inside the rolls once they were cooked. and they weren't even the slightest bit visible! I checked several rolls to believe they weren't showing! I quite like them sprinkled on top of rolls too, as they are in some purchased rolls. Have a lovely weekend everyone. Cheers. Julie
jan2242, Mar 15, 8:22pm
Juliewn Well I will be trying that one for sure. Love adding things to my breads too.
