Whole "Wheet" Flax Bread

This hearty loaf of bread tastes like a 100% whole wheat bread artisanal bread and even has a slight yeasty flavor. It is packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids and is good both toasted and untoasted. It can be sliced thinly without crumbling, I actually cut some slices 1/8-inch thick and they didn't crumble. The 15 slice amount is for a 1/2- inch thick slice!!!

The yeast used in the recipe does not help it rise, it is used only for flavor so you can omit it if you want.

Use a real 8 x 4 inch loaf pan, not an 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 pan so you get a tall loaf. I found the disposable foil pans are really 8 x 4 inches but they are so thin, so I nestled the foil pan inside one of my metal 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch pans and that worked out great to prevent it from burning before it was done.

Another helpful hint when baking low carb breads is to take the temperature of the loaf, not to rely on a toothpick testing clean. Many keto breads will test clean but aren't actually fully baked and will result in a gummy center if you use that test but taking its temperature and making sure it is between 195-200F. will make sure it is fully cooked.

Preheat oven to 180C/350F degrees. Line bottom and two sides of an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
