Sure, why not...use a pumpernickle recipe more or less and just add what you want, like the stuff I listed...but you must let it rise at least 2 hours for the first rising and 1 1/2 for the second rising before baking. The reason being, because of all the fruit etc, it takes longer and you don't want a heavy bread. Remember to grind the flax seeds .....
