Honey Wheat Bread With Chia And Flax - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup milk, room temp
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon chia seeds, soaked in
2 tablespoons water (see note)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup flax seed meal
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups white bread flour
2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Preparation

Place all ingredients into bread machine in the order listed and mix on the \"dough\" cycle. Punch down dough after the cycle is complete and roll into a sandwich loaf and place in a well-greased bread pan. Allow dough to rise in a warm location for about 45-60 minutes, then bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes.
Optional - brush the dough with milk or egg wash prior to baking.
* Note - prior to making this recipe, soak chia seeds in water to create a chia gel. I keep a fair amount of chia gel in my fridge and use about 2 tbsp of chia gel in this recipe, however food.com does not recognize Chia Gel as an ingredient.
