Where to find ingredients
You can find whole wheat flour (atta), oats, and flax seeds at local provision stores or supermarket grain sections. Fresh yeast is usually available at bakery supply shops or large-format retail outlets. If fresh yeast is unavailable, instant dry yeast can be used as a substitute (use one-third of the weight specified).
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in the lukewarm water.
- Add the brown sugar and stir well until combined.
- Mix in the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ, and flax seeds.
- Gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour, mixing until a uniform dough forms.
- Add the all-purpose flour little by little until the dough pulls away from your hands while remaining soft.
- Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured surface.
- Knead the dough vigorously for about 10 to 15 minutes until it becomes 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 size (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 tin or a tin lined with parchment paper.
- Cover the loaves again with a cloth and let them prove 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 completely on a wire rack before serving.
