Basic Brown Bread Recipe

Full of flaxseeds and enhanced by hazelnut flour, this excellent bread has a mild taste that works well with nearly any kind of sandwich filling. It also toasts up nicely and makes excellent croutons. We recommend using an electric mixer for this one, as the final texture is better if the batter is whipped at high speed to aerate it. By the way, if you use golden flaxseed meal instead of brown flaxseed meal, the loaf will have a more golden color, in which case you should feel free to call it Golden Bread! Either way, it is equally delicious and nutritious. To use this as a sandwich loaf, let the loaf sit at room temperature overnight. This extended cooling and tempering period will help bolster the bread’s structure.
