Happy Monday everyone!
Like every month, I’m participating in the Fantastic Bake Along hosted by Tracy @itsatsweetday. This time, Kathy was choosing the recipe, and it was whole grain bread! Yum! You can find the recipe here on Tracy’s blog. As you may know, I am french and of course I love bread!
I didn’t really have access to all the ingredients that Kathy listed, so I kind of improvised! I decided to make my bread using flax flour and white flour, and I added in some sesame and poppy seeds as well. I used my Thermo to mix in my dough, then kneaded it.
It was quite dense so didn’t rise as much as normal bread would but I didn’t really mind. After I baked it, it was really nice, maybe not as fluffy as your usual bread but still super tasty!
It’s really lovely toasted and I am going to enjoy eating it this week for breakfast, with some homemade blackcurrant jam my nana sent!
If you are interested in participating, contact Tracy and you can also follow my Pinterest board where I will be adding all the recipes for the Bake Along.

Thanks Annette 🙂 A lot of it will get eaten tonight, we are having mussels and it’ll be perfect to soak up the broth!

Thanks Brenna! I think if I had to re-do it, I would probably reduce the amount of flaxseed flour a little, just to give it a better rise 🙂

Thanks Tina 😊 I do love a dark bread too, it was super yummy, even after a few days, I toasted some this morning and it was great (it was my last piece!)

It looks yummy Emma!! I like a nice dense bread with a lot of melted butter on it!! I still don’t have an oven and it’s really making me very very sad! I should be getting a new oven at the end of the month and I will be making some bread to have with your quiche recipe for sure!!! 😀

That would be so annoying not having an oven, but at least it’s summer where you are so I guess it’s better than if it was winter!
