With a bread machine:
Place in order in bread machine: beer and water, salt, sugar, flours, oats, flax meal and flax seed, and yeast. Knead dough in machine, adding hazelnuts just a few minutes before end of cycle. Bread can be baked in bread machine. For best results, allow bread to rise for one hour in machine, then turn dough onto a wet surface and use wet hands to form a sausage-shaped loaf. Place loaf on parchment paper Allow loaf to rise for 20-25 minutes.

Without a bread machine:
Dissolve yeast in liquids. Combine salt, sugar, white flour, whole wheat flour, oats, flax meal, flax seed and yeast; mix well. Add water and beer. Stir as much as possible, then knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic. Add a little more white flour, as necessary, for handling dough. Turn dough ball in an oiled bowl to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise.

Baking instructions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heat a pizza stone on low rack in the oven. (If a pizza stone isn’t available, bake on an oiled cookie sheet.) Mix egg white with 1 tbsp. water. Brush loaf with egg white mixture and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds. Slide bread, on parchment, onto pizza stone and bake about 24 minutes, until loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
