Honey Wheat French Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
2 cups bread flour
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 1/2 teaspoons yeast
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
1 1/4 cups warm water
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

You can mix this in a 2 lb automatic bread machine, but I mixed and knead for.
5 minutes in my KitchenAid.
Then using more olive oil,oil the bowl
and turn the dough a couple times to coat.
Cover with a wet towel and let raise in an unlit oven for 2 hours, punch down, knead between hands and then let rise another 90 minutes.
Punched down, knead and shape
into two equal 18 inch ropes and place in sprayed pans to rise again for 1 hour.
Bake at 350\u00b0 for 25-30 minutes or until browning on top and sounds hollow when thumped on bottom.
Remove from oven and brush
tops with butter, if you want soft crusts.
Let cool before slicing.
Store in airtight bags.
