Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh yeast, rolled oats, wheat germ, and linseeds in the health food aisle or baking section of major supermarkets like Coles or Woolworths. For wholemeal and plain flours, check the baking supplies aisle.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast into the warm water.
- Add the brown sugar and stir well until combined.
- Stir in the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ, and linseeds.
- Gradually incorporate the wholemeal flour, mixing until the dough becomes homogeneous.
- Add the plain flour bit by bit until the dough pulls away from your hands, ensuring it remains soft.
- Transfer the dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface.
- Knead the dough vigorously for 10 to 15 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased or floured bowl, cover with a tea towel, and leave to rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 to 2 hours).
- Once risen, shape the dough into your desired loaf form.
- Place the shaped dough into a greased and floured loaf tin, or one lined with baking paper.
- Cover the loaf again with a cloth and allow it to prove for another 30 to 60 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C.
- Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through; baking time may vary depending on your oven.
- Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
