Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh yeast and whole grains in the refrigerated section of local general stores or specialized neighborhood markets. Standard grocery store aisles provide the vegetable oil, flours, and seeds.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in the lukewarm water.
- Add the brown sugar and mix well.
- Stir in the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ, and flaxseeds.
- Gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour, mixing until a uniform dough forms.
- Add additional all-purpose flour little by little until the dough pulls away from your hands while remaining soft.
- Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly 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 rise in a warm spot until doubled in volume (approximately 1 to 2 hours).
- Once risen, shape the dough into your desired loaf form.
- Place the shaped dough into a greased and floured loaf pan, or one lined with parchment paper.
- Cover the loaf with a clean cloth and let it proof for another 30 to 60 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C.
- Bake the bread 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 bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before serving.
