Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh yeast, wheat germ, and flaxseeds at local supermarkets or specialized health food stores. Standard whole wheat and all-purpose flour are available in the baking aisle of any local grocery store.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in the warm water
- Add the brown sugar and stir well
- Mix in the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ, and flaxseeds
- Gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour, stirring until a uniform dough forms
- Add more all-purpose flour, bit by bit, until the dough pulls away from your hands while remaining soft
- Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured work 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 doubles in size (about 1 to 2 hours)
- Once risen, shape the loaves as desired
- 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 allow them to 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 golden brown and cooked through. Baking time may vary depending on your oven
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before serving
