FLAX BREAD

I have used this bread recipe on and off since Joe's diagnosis. I weigh the bread and then multiply the weight (in grams) by the carb factor (0.436) to come up with the carb count. This bread seems to work well with his blood sugar numbers.

Here is the recipe:

1 1/3 cup H2O
2 T Butter
3 T Honey
1 1/2 cup bread flour
1 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup flax seed (ground)
1 1/2 t salt
2 1/2 t yeast

Add ingredients to bread machine...dry ingredients and then wet...use the rapid bake setting...(if using the basic setting, use only 1 t of yeast).

CARB FACTOR 0.436
