Step by Step Method

Step 1

Add the warm water in a large bowl or in the bowl of a freestanding heavy-duty electric mixer fitted with the dough hook. Sprinkle the yeast over the water. Let stand for about 10 minutes, or until the yeast dissolves and foams.

Step 2

Stir in the soy beverage, oil, honey, molasses and salt.

Step 3

Add 5 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, mixing well.

Step 4

Add more flour, if necessary, until dough is moist but not sticky.

Step 5

Knead by hand on a floured board for 10 minutes, or on low speed in the mixer, adding a bit more flour if needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Knead in the flaxseeds.

Step 7

Form the dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl, turning once to coat with oil.

Step 8

Cover the bowl loosely with a clean towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.

Step 9

Grease two 8 x 4-inch loaf pans.

Step 10

Punch the dough down, knead briefly, and form into two 8-inch long loaves.

Step 11

Place in the loaf pans seam side down.

Step 12

Cover loosely with oiled plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 1/4 hours.

Step 13

Preheat the oven to 375?F.

Step 14

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes.

Step 15

Turn out of the pans and let cool on racks.

Wonderful bread. Nice and crusty but soft inside. Great with a big bowl of split pea soup. I cut recipe in half with no problems. Will be making this again.
