    Nutrition facts are wrong, flax is listed as salt... hence the high sodium and low calories! I'd try this but I don't want to mess up my tracker... - 9/16/10

    The bread tasted good, but I messed up something because it didn't raise. I did everything as called for, but didn't add the flax because we don't have it here. - 6/5/10

    I used my Kitchen Aid, I also left dough out at room temp for the 1 1/2 hours and cut the dough into 18 pieces, then shaped them into balls and flattened them to about 1/2 inch high to let them raise, so they were shaped like a regular hamburger bun. (and I didn't sift!) - 4/5/10
