Step 1

In a saucepan heat the first 4 ingredients just until warm and shortening has melted (115-120) I do use a thermometer.

Step 2

I also prove my yeast – I put the yeast in a half cup of very warm water to make sure it rises.

Step 3

In the mixer bowl put the 6 cups of wheat flour, flax seed meal, dough enhancer and 4 eggs—add the milk mixture along with the yeast and beat at medium speed—scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally.

Step 4

Add the white flour a cup at a time and beat at high speed until bread mixture pulls away from the sides of the bowl cleanly.

Step 5

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a minute or two.

Step 6

Shape a ball and place in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease. Cover and rise in a warm place until doubled in size about an hour

Step 7

Punch down and then divide into loaves. I usually get 6 loaves when I use the dough enhancer. My loaf pans are slightly smaller than full size.

Step 8

Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost double in size (about 45 minutes).

Step 9

Bake at 350 degrees for 28 minutes—that is what works for my oven.

Step 10

Remove from oven and rub butter over the tops of the loaves with a paper towel. Let cool and enjoy.
