Norwegian Herb-Nut Bread

Now veganized and suitable for bread machine.

2 & 1/4 oz active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110F-115F)
1/2 cup soy milk, scalded
1 t of ground flaxseed whisked into 3 T of water as egg replacer
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon dried basil, dried, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, dried, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, dried, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, dried, crushed
3 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the water and let stand in a dark place until it is spongy.

While the yeast is proofing, get a bowl and assemble the dry ingredients.

Whisk together ground flaxseed and water, and let it sit for a couple of minutes. It will become thick and fluffy, like egg whites.

Heat your soymilk.

Once your yeast are thick and spongy, place them in the bread machine.

Add flax.

Add soymilk.

Add oil.

Add dry ingredients and set machine to "wheat" cycle.

Makes 1 loaf. Cooking time: 3:30

This recipe makes a nice, soft, slightly sweet and nutty loaf. I know I should post pics of the baked goodies but Mr K has not yet unloaded all his Vegas trip pics, so ...honestly I'm not sure where the camera is, other than "somewhere amidst all the gaming swag."
