Would you believe I ran out of flax meal? Picked some up this afternoon so I'll be making it tomorrow for sure! We have a busy weekend, so an easy, sandwich lunch, will be a godsend!! Will let you know how it turns out.

Bumping up to see if anyone besides the OP got this to work. I REALLY want to try this again!

I'm watching this one... I want to hear of anyone's successes before I try... Go on, Betsy... after you!

I got this one to work... it was pretty good. Not as pretty as the OPs loaf, but it worked.

The microwave one still defeats me, though!

Sorry, haven't had time to try it since the OP clarified quantities. We just got the confirmation of our moving date (home plus untidy home-based business with a plethora of inventory) so baking is on hold for the duration! I'll keep checking back for updates whenever I need a break from packing and cleaning! bleaahhhh ....

I finally got this bread to work for me! Here is what I did:

6 ounces of melted butter
8 heaped tablespoons of ground flax seed (linseeds)
4 heaped tablespoons of vital wheat gluten
2 heaped teaspoon of Baking Powder
4 large eggs
(I thought the texture was perfect after adding the eggs, so I did NOT add extra water)

I put it in a regular size loaf pan, bakes at 350 for 40 minutes - came out perfectly!! I used regular flax instead of golden, so it was a little darker than the pictures here. It's about the size (height) of a quick bread, and I cut it into 12 slices. Just ate one out of the oven w/butter & SF jam! This was so worth all the failed tries!! (Go ahead & try it, D, it works!)

Woohoo!! Well done, Betsy!
I am glad you found an adaptation that works for you!

I'm going to try this one. Sounds like a good basic loaf of bread.
