Add 10 cups of whole wheat flour to start, then gently mix with paddle attachment (if using a KitchenAid stand mixer).
5
Add sea salt and ground flax seed.
6
Gently mix again just until the salt and ground flax seeds are mixed in.
7
Knead for 4-6 minutes. (I use my KitchenAid for this. If you are kneading by hand you might want to knead a little longer.) Now this dough is really sticky and you are going to think that you need to add more flour. Sometimes you might have to add a little more, however just know that the dough will be very sticky and you only want to add enough flour that the dough barely pulls away from the bowl.
8
Let dough rise for about 15 minutes, until doubled in size.
9
Spray the back of your hands with cooking spray and punch down the dough really well. I like to count to 30 but that is not actually necessary.
10
Separate dough to form into loaves. This will make 3 one and a half pound loaves. Put into greased loaf pans.
11
Let rise in pans for about 30 minutes.
12
Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. I like to put a large glass baking dish filled with water on the lower rack to keep bread from drying out.
13
Remove from pans immediately and let cool on a cooling rack.
