Wonderful flavor! I baked mine at 335F for 38 min; it turned out quite light and fluffy. The dough was somewhat wet when I took it out of the bread machine; it sprawled out on the baking sheet more than normal since I baked it in a single round loaf. (Next time I'll do 2 loaves instead.) I did substitute cornmeal for half of the ground flax seed, and I used exclusively white flour since I'd run out of ww. I was looking for a recipe with both oats and flax seed, and this is a winner! Thanks for posting :)
