Flaxseed

I have found that I love using flaxseed! What do I do with it? I put it in my doughs, in oatmeal, in about anything really. Not only are flaxseed a "healthy food", they add a great nutty flavor.

I get organic natural raw whole flaxseed, then grind it myself. How? With a coffee grinder (one used strictly for seeds & herbs).


place the whole flaxseed into the grinder,

grind until fine,

add some in place of your flour in your dough (i.e. 1/2 c. ground flaxseed and deduct 1/2 c. flour)

Remember these (the homemade buns/rolls I made)?
Well, here is the dough with the ground flaxseed is added!

It makes everything taste better!
See all those wonderful flecks of ground flaxseed...yummy!

Give flaxseed a try, let me know if you do!
