Mom's doctor has limited her to one teaspoonfull of salt a day. So we have been reading lots of labels. One thing that has a lot of salt in it is bread. So I found this recipe that has no added salt and it makes a delicious whole grain loaf of bread.

Flaxseed, Caraway, whole grain Bread.

1 Tablespoon active dry yeast
1 2/3 Cup warm water
3 Tablespoon Honey (or 1/8 cup sugar)
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 cup flaxseed meal (2/3 cup of whole flaxseed when ground is approximately 1 cup flaxseed meal, it's best to grind it fresh.)
1 cup Rye flour
1 Tablespoon caraway seeds
2 cups Whole wheat flour
extra caraway seeds for top



In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Set aside until bubbly (about 5 minutes) mix in the honey, oil, flaxseed meal, caraway seeds and rye flour. Stir in the Whole wheat flour 1/2 half cup at a time until it makes a soft kneadable dough. Turn dough onto a floured surface. Knead for about 10 minutes. sprinkle extra caraway seeds on the kneading surface, form dough into a loaf pressing the extra caraway seeds into the surface. Grease a bread pan and place the loaf in it. Cover, and let rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has risen about an inch over the top of the pan.
Bake at 350 for 45 to 50 minutes or until loaf is browned on top and sounds hollow when tapped. Cool 10 minutes in the pan and then remove.
