Linseed also known as flaxseed, is one of the most potent sources of omega 3 essential fatty acids found in nature. It has a huge amount of health benefits and because it is derived from a plant source, it is ideal for those on a vegetarian and/or vegan diet.

This loaf recipe is not only good for you but also delicious. My 8 and 11 year old boys love this bread so much that half the loaf is consumed before it has the chance to cool down!

Makes = 1 loaf

Special Equipment = 1 x Mastrad 1000g Capacity Silicone Terrine

Ingredients

  • 300ml lukewarm water
  • 7g dried yeast

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
  • 1/4 cup brown linseed (flaxseed)
  • 1/4 cup sunflower kernels

Method

  1. Place water, yeast and honey into a mixing bowl. Mix to combine and set aside in a warm place for 10 minutes or until frothy.
  2. Place a flat beater attachment onto an electric mixer. Place flours, salt and linseed into the mixer bowl and mix on low speed to combine.
  3. Add yeast mixture and mix on low speed until mixtures starts to form a ball.
  4. Remove flat beater attachment and replace with a dough hook. Knead on low speed for 8 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic.
  5. Add sunflower kernels and knead for a further minute.
  6. Remove dough and place in the Mastrad 1000g Capacity Silicone Terrine.
  7. Cover with the Mastrad Silicone Terrine Lid and set aside in a warm place for 30 minutes or until dough starts to touch the lid.

  9. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice when cool.

Tips

  1. A cooked loaf should sound hollow when tapped.
  2. If you would like more linseeds in your loaf, add an additional 1/4 cup.
