Add the grounded flax seeds and the rest of the whole oat flour and knead to dough on a lightly floured surface. The dough for this flax seed bread should be smooth and elastic. Add more flour if necessary.
Oil a loaf pan.
Shape the flax seed bread dough and place it in the loaf pan.
Leave to rise until it has doubled its size.
While the flax seed bread is rising, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the flax seed bread in the oven and bake until done. (Normally around 45-55 minutes.)
Leave to cool and enjoy with cottage cheese and fresh herbs.
