Dissolve the yeast in 2 cups of warm water. Add the sugar and set aside until foamy.

Combine all ingredients in a mixer and knead 10-15 minutes until a smooth dough forms.

Divide the dough into seven portions, and form each into a loaf.

Place the loaves in loaf pans, and let them rise for 50 minutes. Sprinkle them with whole flaxseed if desired.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degreees Celsius) for 40 minutes. Remove the loaves from the pans, and bake them another six minutes. When done, the bread should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
