KAF honey challah with flax meal recipe?

Does anyone have this recipe?  They seem to have removed it from their website. I have so much flax meal I need to use up.  Please share if you do.  Thanks so much!!!

Second thought, if you have recipes using flaxmeal that you love please feel free to post or link.  I dont have many flaxmeal recipes, tried and true, but am getting to like how it works in baking.

I think any loaf could handle the addition of a tablespoon of ground flax.

I buy whole flax seed, grind about 2 weeks worth in a whirly-gig style coffee grinder, and keep the ground meal frozen until I use it up. It still  flows when frozen - it does not solidify.  about 1/3 cup fits in my grinder. I do that 3 times, so I freeze a cup at a time.

I often put flax meal in smoothies/protein-shakes.

Muffins are another place to easily add.   But not pancakes - at least in my experience.

idaveindy: thank you so much!  I am emboldened to try a little flaxmeal here and there in my baking now.  Opens up so much experimentation. I did not know that flaxmeal does not work so well for pancakes.  Who knew! 

clazar123: thank you for that link.  I found something also, below:

I ended up calling KAF and asking if they still have the recipe on file?  They did and they sent it to me!  They also have a recipe, 'soft sandwich bread with flax' which is about the same recipe as the challah, the eggs replaced with water.  These recipes look quite good, maybe just a tad rich..Will post tomorrow.
