Off late i have realized that i have become quite a conscious person when it comes to eating healthy.( I know i just cant give up on my kfc craving) but as far as possible i try and eat healthy. I usually order wheat bread from the local bakery in the neighborhood, and recently learnt that they add more of all purpose flour and less of whole wheat. So i decided to do this bread with whole wheat flour. And while i was preparing for the dough, I saw this packet of flex seeds lying a in my pantry( really don't know its expiry) So i decided to do this "honey wheat & flax seed bread", though my favorite has always been honey oats bread from subway, the taste of freshly baked bread is unbeatable(ahh..the honey oats bread with tuna !! yummy )
My original recipe includes egg in it, but as a request from couple of my friends i did this egg-less version of the bread. This was my first attempt & has turned out satisfactory.I guess more than satisfactory as we (my hubby & me) polished off the entire loaf in minutes.
