what I've done is add almond meal(3 tablespoons) and wheat bran (3 tabllespoons) and use less flax meal. Also I never let the machine do all the work; I don't trust bread mahines with vital wheat gluten products; most LC bread I've made is just awful..vital gluten is not easy to work with. so i usually let the machine do mixing and kneading, then I'll take it out, shape it and leet it double in bulk for an hour then bake it.
Maybe I've gotten so used to LC breads that I think this one's great since i"ve been eating the truly horrible ones prior to that.
