A wholesome and delicious bread recipe with added flaxseed for extra nutrition.
Add the warm water, softened margarine, and molasses to the bread machine pan.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Add the whole wheat flour, bread flour, salt, and ground flaxseed on top of the liquid ingredients.
Layer the ingredients in the order listed to prevent the yeast from activating prematurely.
Make a small well in the flour and add the active dry yeast.
Avoid letting the yeast touch the liquid until the machine starts mixing.
Select the whole wheat bread cycle on your bread machine and start it.
Check the dough after a few minutes of mixing to ensure the consistency is correct; adjust with water or flour if needed.
Once the cycle is complete, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before slicing.
Allowing the bread to cool prevents it from becoming gummy when sliced.
