Whole Wheat Oatmeal Flax Bread

This is my sister's recipe and it is really yummy.

Whole Wheat Oatmeal Flax Bread

1 3/4 c water
1 T yeast

2 t salt
1/3 c honey
1/3 c oil
2 1/2-3 c wheat flour


Boil 1 c water
Add 1/2 c oats--set aside and let cool

1 egg
1/4 c flaxseed
2 1/2- 3 c white flour

Put yeast in the water and let sit to begin working. After the oats are cooled add honey, oil, egg, salt and wheat flour to yeast mixture and begin mixing. Add white flour until mixture pulls away from the bowl and dough is no longer sticky. This dough will be soft and pliable. Knead for 10 minutes. Split the dough into two (3?) loaf pans (spray with Pam). Let rise until double in size and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Take out of bread pans and turn on sides to let cool. Cover with a clean towel to keep crust from getting hard.

Whole Wheat Bread Recipes?

I would really love to hear everyone's all-wheat bread recipes. Sidsie gave me her's which I will post here because she's too lazy to, but it will mess up all the Labels and sorting. Sorry.

Sidsie's Whole Wheat Bread
1/3 c oil
1/3 c honey or ½ c sugar
2 ¼ t salt
2 ¾ c steaming hot tap water
¼ c gluten flour
1 ¼ T instant yeast
7-8 c whole wheat flour

Mix together first four ingredients in mixer with a dough hook. Add ½ of flour and beat. Put in 1-2 more cups flour, gluten flour, and yeast. Beat again. With mixer on medium speed, add remaining flour just until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead 10 minutes on medium-high speed.

Pre-heat oven for 1 minute to Luke Warm and turn off. Spray or oil 2 pans. Pour dough out onto oiled counter, divide and shape into loaves and put into pans. Let loaves rise 35 minutes in warmed oven. Do not remove bread from oven; turn oven to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes. Tip out of pans and cool on cooling rack.

***I used 4c red wheat and 2c white wheat for my last batch, which turned out really well. The key is the 10 min of kneading. A lot, I know, but it makes loaves instead of bricks.
