Place all of the ingredients in your machines fully assembled pan. Select
the basic or white cycle and press start. When the bread is finished allow
to sit in the pan for 10 minutes then remove to a cooling rack to cool. If
you wish to minimize the holes caused by the kneading paddles. Remove the
dough from the pan after the final kneading process. Remove the paddles
from the pan. Spray the posts with pan spray. Shape the dough and place
back in the pan seam side down. Allow the cycle to complete.

NOTES : * To make potato water to a large baker potato peel it,
wash it and then dice in to 1 inch cubes. Then place in a
pot and cover with water and boil until it is tender. If
you wish to do this in a microwave, place the potato in a
microwave safe container with a lid (you can use plastic
wrap), cover with water then microwave on high for 10
minutes or until the potato is done. Then cool the potato
and water and place in your blender and blend until
smooth. If you have more potato water than you need store
it in a tight lidded container in the refridgerator. Use
within 3 days.

* Whole Flax seeds should never be used in bread. You add
no nutrition to your bread by using whole flax seed as
they aren't digested when eaten. You need to grind the
seeds in to a meal them place in your bread. To do this
take the 1/4 cup flax seeds and place in your blender. Put
the lid on and blend on high until they are a fine meal
about 1 minute. Then place in the bread pan. Flax seed
should be easy to find at your local health food store. If
you can't find them they use sesame seeds or even poppy
seeds instead. However, Flax Seed meal is high in Omega-3
fatty acids and is very good for you.

* The amount of yeast in my recipes is usually 2-1/2 to 1
tbsp. This is the amount I need to use to get a proper
rise from my bread. If you normally use less yeast, then
by all means use the amount you normally use.
