Instructions

Stir together the ground flaxseed and 3 tbsp warm water in a small bowl until combined, then set aside for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens to a gel.
- 2
Combine the warm milk (110°F / 43°C), yeast, and 1 tbsp of the granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Let stand for 5–8 minutes until foamy and fragrant — if the mixture does not foam, the yeast is not active and should be replaced.
