Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh yeast and wholewheat flour at local supermarket baking aisles or health food stores. If you cannot find wheat germ, toasted wheat bran makes a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in the warm water.
- Add the muscovado sugar and stir well.
- Stir in the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ, and flaxseeds.
- Gradually incorporate the wholewheat flour, mixing until a uniform dough begins to form.
- Add more all-purpose flour, bit by bit, until the dough pulls away from your hands but remains soft.
- Transfer the dough onto a clean, lightly floured work surface.
- Knead the dough vigorously for about 10 to 15 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased or floured bowl, cover with a cloth, and leave to rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (approximately 1 to 2 hours).
- Once risen, shape the dough into your desired loaf format.
- Place the shaped loaves into a greased and floured loaf tin, or one lined with parchment paper.
- Cover the loaves again with a cloth and leave them to proof for a further 30 to 60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through; baking time may vary depending on your oven.
- Remove the loaves from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
