Where to find ingredients
Fresh yeast is typically found in the refrigerated dairy or bakery section of major grocery stores. Whole wheat flour, wheat germ, and flaxseeds are available in the baking aisle or the natural foods section of any local supermarket.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in the lukewarm water.
- Stir in the brown sugar until well combined.
- Add the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ, and flaxseeds to the liquid mixture.
- Gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour, stirring until a uniform dough forms.
- Continue adding all-purpose flour little by little until the dough pulls away from your hands, remaining soft but not sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface.
- Knead the dough vigorously for 10 to 15 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough into a lightly greased or floured bowl, cover with a tea towel, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 to 2 hours.
- Once the dough has risen, gently shape it into your desired loaf form.
- Place the shaped dough into a greased and floured loaf pan, or use one lined with parchment paper.
- Cover the loaf again with a cloth and let it 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 it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Note that baking time can vary depending on your oven.
- Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
