Where to find ingredients
You can find whole-wheat flour, wheat germ, and rolled oats in the baking or healthy living aisles of most local supermarkets. Fresh yeast is often available at the bakery counter or in the refrigerated dairy section. If you cannot find fresh yeast, you may use active dry yeast as a substitute.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in the warm 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 the all-purpose flour little by little until the dough pulls away from your hands but remains soft.
- Transfer the dough to a clean, floured 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 let it rise in a warm spot until it has doubled in size (approximately 1 to 2 hours).
- Once risen, shape the dough into your desired loaf size.
- 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 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 loaves from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
