Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh yeast and whole wheat flour in the baking aisle of any local supermarket in Belize. If you cannot find fresh yeast, you may substitute with 10g of active dry yeast. Wheat germ and flaxseeds are typically available in the health food section or bulk aisles of local grocery stores.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in the warm water
- Add the brown sugar and stir well
- Stir in the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ, and flaxseeds
- Gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour, mixing until the dough is uniform
- Slowly add the all-purpose flour until the dough no longer sticks to your hands, while remaining soft
- Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface
- Knead the dough vigorously for about 10 to 15 minutes until it is smooth and elastic
- Place the dough in a lightly greased or floured bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot until it has doubled in size (approximately 1 to 2 hours)
- Once the dough has risen, shape it into your desired loaf form
- Place the shaped dough into a greased and floured loaf pan, or one lined with parchment paper
- Cover the loaves again with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 to 60 minutes
- Preheat your oven to 200°C
- Bake the bread in the preheated oven at 200°C for approximately 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 serving
