1 loaf (2 pounds, 16 slices)

This loaf owes its healthy heartiness to a combination of flax seeds and whole-wheat flour. Moist and flavorful, it has a nutty texture that’s great for sandwiches or toast.—Amy Blom, Marietta, Georgia

Ingredients

1-1/3 cups water (70° to 80°)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder
3-1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup vital wheat gluten
2-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup dried blueberries or cranberries
1/3 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
Additional olive oil

Directions

In bread machine pan, place all the ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting.
Check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed. Just before the final kneading (your machine may audibly signal this), add blueberries and walnuts.
When the cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Punch down; shape into a loaf. Place in a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown, tent with foil after 30 minutes. Remove from pan to wire rack to cool. Brush top with oil.
