Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh yeast, whole wheat flour, and seeds in the baking aisle or health food section of local supermarkets like Super Value or Solomon's. If fresh yeast is unavailable, active dry yeast is a suitable substitute (use roughly one-third of the weight).
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in the warm water.
- Add the brown sugar and stir until well combined.
- Stir in the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ, and flaxseeds.
- Gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour, mixing until the dough is uniform.
- Add the all-purpose flour little by little until the dough pulls away from your hands, ensuring it remains soft.
- Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured work surface.
- Knead the dough vigorously for about 10 to 15 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough into a lightly greased or floured bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in volume, about 1 to 2 hours.
- Once the dough has risen, shape it into your desired loaf format.
- Place the shaped dough into a greased and floured loaf pan, or use parchment paper for easy removal.
- Cover the loaves again with a cloth and let them rest for another 30 to 60 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the bread sounds hollow when tapped. Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
- Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
