Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 3 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons Ground flax seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, warm the water and milk until lukewarm (about 100-110°F). Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Stir in the honey until dissolved. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, ground flax seeds, and salt.

Step 4

Add the melted butter to the yeast mixture, followed by the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-6 minutes.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it into a lightly greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 8

Cover the loaf with the kitchen towel again and let it rise for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until it has risen slightly above the edge of the pan.

Step 9

Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.
