Wheat germ: Usually available in the health food section or baking aisle of larger supermarkets, or in health food stores.

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 flaxseed
- Gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour, mixing until a homogeneous dough is formed
- 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 is 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 loaves as desired
- Place the shaped loaves in 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 the oven to 200°C (400°F)
- Bake the loaves in the preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through
- Baking time may vary depending on the oven
- Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving
