The ingredients for Whole Wheat Flax Bread are:

5.5 cups hot water
2/3 cup honey
2/3 canola oil
2 tablespoons salt
14 cups whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons instant bakers yeast
1 cup milled flax seed

Here is how you make Whole Wheat Flax Bread:

1. Place the first four ingredients in the bowl and mix.2. Add: 4 Cups 100% whole grain wheat flour. Mix, then add 3 tablespoons of dry active yeast. If your not sure about your yeast proof it in a little warm water first.3. Add: 8 cups of 100% whole grain wheat flour.4. Mix until the consistency is some what even. Then continue to slowly add flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough quits sticking to the sides of the bowl. It should be tacky to the touch. The trick is to have enough consistency to stand up with the least amount of flour so the bread will be fluffy. In any case do not exceed 15 cups of wheat flour. I trade one cup of the wheat flour for one cup of milled flax seed.5. When your dough is finished, Cover the bowl and let it rise for about 30-45 minutes. The dough will be larger but it doesn't need to double when using a heavy mixer.6. Grease 5 bread pans with veggie spray. You can also flour the pans to reduce sticking.7. Mix again just enough to knock it down at least close to the original size.8. Drop the dough on a floured surface so you can work the dough and shape it. Roll it in the flour and shape it in your hands to make a nice ball getting enough flour on it so it isn't sticky.Divide the ball in fifths and do it again.Shape the loaves by turning the dough under it's self over and over. When the dough is shaped right the sides and ends will be sealed and all you will see is a nice oblong shaped loaf with smooth sides and top.Drop the loaves in your bread pans and let them rise until almost doubled. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 for 30 minutes. 9. When done turn the bread out of the pan to a rack to cool. You can eat it right away. Don't wrap it until completely cooled. Notes: If you like fluffy brown bread this is it. No white flour here. You can use any 100% whole grain wheat flour. I mill my own. This bread is not heavy like most 100% whole wheat breads. If it is you used too much flour and your dough was too stiff. If it flattens out and won't stand up you need more flour. The total amount of flour is usually about 14 cups.
