Where to find ingredients
You can find whole wheat flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, vegetable oil, yeast, salt, and all-purpose flour in the baking aisle of most supermarkets. Wheat germ and flaxseed are typically found in the health food section or baking aisle. If you can't find wheat germ, you can omit it or substitute with more whole wheat flour. Fresh yeast is sometimes found in the refrigerated section of larger supermarkets or specialty stores; active dry yeast can be substituted using the same weight for weight ratio and activating it with warm water first.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in the warm water
- Add the brown sugar and mix well
- Add the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ, and flaxseed
- Gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour, mixing until a homogeneous dough is obtained
- Add more all-purpose flour, little by little, until the dough no longer sticks to your hands but is still 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 place until doubled in volume (approximately 1 to 2 hours)
- After rising, shape the breads as desired
- Place the shaped breads in a greased and floured loaf pan or one lined with parchment paper
- Cover the breads again with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 to 60 minutes
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F)
- Bake the breads in the preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through
- The time may vary depending on your oven
- Remove the breads from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving
