Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 Tablespoons flax seed -- ground
3/4 cup wheat bran
1/4 cup soy flour, lowfat
1/4 cup soy protein isolate
1/2 cup gluten, wheat
1/4 cup rice bran
1/4 cup oat bran
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 Tablespoon yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup boiling water -- or more if needed
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon molasses
1 Tablespoon sour cream
1 Tablespoon heavy cream
Combine dry ingredients in bowl. The flax seeds were "heaping tablespoons" when I measured them.
In the bowl of a mixer, combine water and remaining ingredients. The molasses is to activate the yeast, and gets consumed by it in the preparation.
Turn on mixer and add dry ingredients slowly. Mix/knead until well combined.
Let rest for a bit while you prepare pan.
I used a "roll" pan that holds 12. You shouldn't really need to grease or oil it unless it is very old and tends to stick. A bit of oil on a paper towel would do the trick in that case.
Divide the dough in 12 portions and roll in balls in your hand. If you don't have a pan as above, a sheet pan would suffice.
You can let rest/raise while your oven warms.
Heat oven to 350 F. Bake for 15 minutes, or until browned on bottom, and not too firm.
I store mine in the fridge in plastic containers, or they could be frozen and taken out as needed (reheat in low oven or microwave, or allow to thaw overnight).

Moisture depends on weather and factors regarding your dry ingredients. Water may have to be adjusted accordingly.
Could probably be baked as a loaf, but I don't have baking times for that. May have to be divided in half to bake in two loaves, just because of the density - haven't checked, and wouldn't like to promise acceptable results.
I tried baking them in a "mini loaf" muffin pan (makes
- takes longer to bake and of course you'd have to adjust the carb count. However, you can slice them up and have them like little melba-sized toasts.
For Christmas, you could add cranberries and/or nuts to the mixture, as well.
Cranberries and Rosemary make a nice combination. Use the fresh or frozen (unthawed); throw them in with the wet ingredients and let the mixer chop them up. These are open to lots of options - spices or herbs would make good additions, too. The dogs and I can't get enough of them!!
