Ingredients

  1. 1 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)

    2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1 cup bread flour

    2 tablespoons flaxseeds
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 cup peeled and finely chopped apple (about 1 medium apple)
    2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Activate Yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and honey. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
