Honey Wheat Flaxseed Bread

Who is with me?  I am a huge bread lover, and could easily eat it with every meal.  Not surprising, my son could live off bread and olive oil.  His favorite bread is honey wheat, so I came up with this recipe a couple of years ago.  It is a wonderful everyday bread, and makes the house smell great.  I always feel like Fred Flintstone when the smells fills the air.  Do you remember that show?  Every time Wilma would cook, he would involuntarily follow the smell of food.  Anyway, I always think of that when there are yummy food smells in the air 😉  Seriously though, if you want a delicious bread, give this a try.

I am excited to bring my bread to Fiesta Friday #159!  The lovely co hosts this week are  Zeba @ Food For The Soul and Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook

    I know what I’m doing this afternoon. This looks great, Antonia. My husbands going to be so happy when he gets home from work 🙂 Thanks for the tip on freezing too. I freeze store-bought bread and don’t know why I never considered freezing my own.

      That’s great, I hope you enjoy it Diana! It is hard to resist when it comes out of the oven, I think he will be thrilled 😀 You’re welcome! Let me know if you have any questions and have a great rest of your day 😀

    How delicious Antonia! My mom would always make bread for us growing up and I remember the house filling with the smell of a fresh loaf baking in the oven… just divine! I’d take homemade bread over supermarket bread any day! Yours looks just scrumptious 🙂

    When I was girl before my Mom went back to work she would bake bread weekly for the family. Oh how I loved baking day! The house smelled wonderful, and there was always a slice of fresh out of the oven bread slathered with fresh butter to be had. 🙂

    Your loaves look beautiful!

    Looks so delicious. My Grandma also added honey to her bakes – my grandpa was a beekeeper 🙂

      Thank you Inese! Wow, I bet her food was incredible with fresh honey. I wish I had the courage to be a beekeeper. Have a wonderful Friday!

    That looks yummy. I used to make home-made bread, which lasted a day. If that. Fresh hot bread with butter is amazing.

      Thanks Jacqui! Ha ha, I understand that! There really is nothing like it 😀 Have a fantastic day!

    Even with all the health concerns bread stirs up, I believe that most of us can enjoy a beautiful recipe like this in small amounts to satisfy the taste buds without causing GI ramifications. Looks wonderful. Looking forward to test the scent in the house! 🙂

      I agree, I believe that moderation is key. Thank you so much Dr. Jonathan! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do 😀

    Smell is one of the strongest association sensations. As you can see from the comments, just from mentioning the aroma of homemade bread, one can instantly recall loving memories… simple things, but precious, we tend to forget under every day’s pressure.

    I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that is more and more difficult to buy a decent loaf of bread ( let alone a great one). I don’t know whether they are saving on the quality of the ingredients or the flour isn’t as it used to be. Then, you visit a small village and you find a bakery with that divine smell, right from the entrance…
    Sorry, I got carried away; but for a bread lover it is a frustrating new reality.

    Well done madame 🙂

      It really is amazing how closely food is tied to memories. I completely agree, the stores are filled with mediocre bread. It is hard to mass produce good bread. But, when you have a local bakery that makes it fresh daily…well, there is no comparing. I enjoy making my own, but I have so much to learn. Thank you so much Spira and have a wonderful weekend!

    Any kind of baking makes the house smell wonderful, but there’s something very special about bread. I can just imagine the glorious smells you describe – and what a great recipe! I’ve never used flax seeds in bread-making, so I’m keen to give it a go. Your tips on freezing are great, too. 😀

      I agree, the smell of bread is so distinct and intoxicating. Thank you Millie! I like adding it for the extra nutrition and good fat. If you get a chance to make it, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Have a fantastic weekend 😀

    This looks lovely! I’m still so intimidated about baking bread. I have but only using a bread machine. I used to watch the Flintstones all the time! I can picture Fred inhaling deeply, haha, good memories! 🙂

      Thank you Anita! I shied away from it for many years too, it really can be intimidating. There are so many factors that can impact the outcome. I loved the Flintstones growing up. I played an episode for my kids recently. Unfortunately, they were not impressed. Have a wonderful weekend 😀

    You’re so right about the smell of baking bread Antonia (and that Fred Flinstone!). These are gorgeous loaves!! I’m sure my Larry would love them– and I could live on bread and butter!! Thanks for the recipe– complete easy instructions! take care…
