  • Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup oat bran
  • 1/2 cup flaxseed meal
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (around 110°F)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients by measuring out whole wheat flour, oat bran, and flaxseed meal.
  2. Mix the ingredients in a large bowl; combine flour, oat bran, flaxseed meal, salt, yeast, honey, and warm water until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Proof the dough in a greased bowl covered with a towel for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.
  5. Shape the dough into a loaf, place in a greased loaf pan, and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • Store the cooled bread in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • For longer storage, slice and freeze the bread in a resealable bag.
  • This bread pairs wonderfully with nut butter, fresh veggies, or serves as a base for sandwiches.
