FLAXSEED BREAD

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 360°F/180°C.
- Grind the flaxseeds into very fine flour. Ideally, sift the flaxseed flour to make sure there are no actual "seeds".
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flaxseed meal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the apple cider vinegar and water, and stir until the flaxseed meal becomes sticky and holds together in a lump, for about 30 seconds. Then use your hands to roughly form the dough into a loaf shape. (Don't over-knead the dough. Handle it as little as possible). The loaf should have a nice smooth surface.
- Place the loaf into a greased (or parchment paper-lined) loaf pan. The bread fits perfectly into a 1-pound loaf pan (8.5" x 4.5"). However, if you only have 1.5-pound loaf pan (10" x 5") - like I do - it will work just fine. (If you're working with the larger size loaf pan, form the loaf, place it into the loaf pan, but don't press it into the corners). You can also use a baking sheet lined with a piece of parchment paper. The bread holds its shape during baking really well, so the loaf pan is not necessary.
- Mist with water and sprinkle some seeds on top (I use a mix of flaxseeds, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds). Gently press down on the seeds with your palm to make them stick better.
- Note: if you watched the video that goes with this recipe, I said that I let the bread rest, covered, for a few minutes. Well, if you're using the baking soda, you want to do the opposite. When you mix baking soda (base) with apple cider vinegar (acid), you get a chemical reaction. A product of this reaction is carbon dioxide, producing a lift in your baked goods. The reaction starts as soon as the base and the acid are mixed. So, get the bread in the oven immediately after you mix the two, before the reaction tapers off.
- Bake the bread for 60 minutes. The crust should be golden brown (if using golden flaxseeds).
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool inside the loaf pan for 10 minutes. Transfer the bread on a cooling rack, and let it cool completely before slicing.
- Store the flaxseed bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7 days. For longer term storage, freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. I like to slice the bread prior to freezing, but you can freeze the whole loaf as well.

ZERO CARB FLAX BREAD
When I was diagnosed with Lyme's Disease, I was told to eliminate sugar, meat, and carbs. YIKES! Hard thing to do for a carb junkie. My sister sent me this recipe and I am so glad she did. I used regular flax meal which gives it a dark color. Golden flax meal will give it a nice golden color. This recipe is quick, easy, AND...

LOW CARB FLAX FLAT BREAD
A good bread replacement when doing a low carb diet. All of the carbohydrate in the flax meal is fiber. Plus flax is super good for you! Great as a sandwich, with jelly, or with some edamame hummus. This is adapted from a recipe found on about.com.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Combine dry ingredients and mix with fork or whisk.
- Make a well in the center and add wet ingredients.
- Mix, making sure eggs integrate well.
- Let sit for five minutes.
- Spread on greased cookie sheet or silicone mat to desired thickness, I like it to be about 9 x 10 inches.
- Bake 10-15 minute.
Tips:
- Use a digital kitchen scale: Measuring ingredients by weight is the most accurate way to ensure consistent results, especially when baking. A digital kitchen scale is a relatively inexpensive investment that can make a big difference in your baking.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months: Flax bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Flax bread is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional wheat bread. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids.
