Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 Tablespoons flax seed -- ground
3/4 cup wheat bran
1/4 cup soy flour, lowfat
1/4 cup soy protein isolate
1/2 cup gluten, wheat
1/4 cup rice bran
1/4 cup oat bran
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 Tablespoon yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup boiling water -- or more if needed
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon molasses
1 Tablespoon sour cream
1 Tablespoon heavy cream

Combine dry ingredients in bowl. The flax seeds were "heaping tablespoons" when I measured them.

In the bowl of a mixer, combine water and remaining ingredients. The molasses is to activate the yeast, and gets consumed by it in the preparation.

Turn on mixer and add dry ingredients slowly. Mix/knead until well combined.

Let rest for a bit while you prepare pan.

I used a "roll" pan that holds 12. You shouldn't really need to grease or oil it unless it is very old and tends to stick. A bit of oil on a paper towel would do the trick in that case.

Divide the dough in 12 portions and roll in balls in your hand. If you don't have a pan as above, a sheet pan would suffice.

You can let rest/raise while your oven warms.

Heat oven to 350 F. Bake for 15 minutes, or until browned on bottom, and not too firm.

I store mine in the fridge in plastic containers, or they could be frozen and taken out as needed (reheat in low oven or microwave, or allow to thaw overnight).

NOTES : These are very filling rolls.
Occasionally, I add hempseed flour to the dry mixture.
Moisture depends on weather and factors regarding your dry ingredients. Water may have to be adjusted accordingly.

Could probably be baked as a loaf, but I don't have baking times for that. May have to be divided in half to bake in two loaves, just because of the density - haven't checked, and wouldn't like to promise acceptable results.

I tried baking them in a "mini loaf" muffin pan (makes 8) - takes longer to bake and of course you'd have to adjust the carb count. However, you can slice them up and have them like little melba-sized toasts.

This recipie is so great! I have it almost evry day sometimes 2x!
