Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh yeast and whole wheat flour in the baking aisle or refrigerated sections of local grocery stores. If fresh yeast is unavailable, active dry yeast is a common substitute; use approximately 8g to 10g for this recipe. Wheat germ and flaxseeds are typically located in the health food or cereal sections.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the fresh yeast in the warm water in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir in the brown sugar until well combined.
- Add the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ, and flaxseeds to the liquid.
- Gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour, mixing until the dough becomes homogeneous.
- Add the all-purpose flour little by little until the dough pulls away from your hands but remains soft.
- Transfer the dough onto 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 doubled in size, roughly 1 to 2 hours.
- Once risen, shape the dough into your desired loaf format.
- Place the shaped loaves into a greased and floured loaf pan or one lined with parchment paper.
- Cover the loaves again with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 to 60 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C.
- Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through; note that timing may vary depending on your oven.
- Remove the loaves from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
