• Heat the milk in a small saucepan, then stir in the flakes, yeast, and honey. Let the mixture rise for about 5 minutes.
• Then, add the melted butter into the same bowl.
• Immediately add plain flour, wholemeal flour, flaxseed, and salt and mix.

• Place the dough on a well-floured surface and knead the dough with your hands for 10 minutes.
• After kneading, shape the dough into a ball, place it in a large bowl smeared with about 1 tablespoon of oil, and coat the dough in the oil.
• Cover and let the dough rise for about 90 minutes.
• Then, grease the bread pan with fat.
• After the dough has risen, knead it for about 1 minute more and place it in the prepared mold.
• Cover it and let it rise again for 60-90 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F..
• In a small bowl, beat the eggs and brush the surface of the homemade lids. Sprinkle a few more seeds on top of the dough.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the loaf is lightly golden brown on top, and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
• After baking, let the bread cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then tip out and cool for at least 2 hours before slicing.
