Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients in the baking aisle, flour section, and fresh yeast/chilled dough section of supermarkets, neighbourhood grocery stores, and open markets. If fresh yeast is unavailable, use dry yeast as a substitute only where needed, but keep the original ingredient as the ideal choice.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, dissolve the fresh baker's yeast in the warm water
- Add the brown sugar and mix well
- Add the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ and flaxseed
- Gradually mix in the whole wheat flour until you have a smooth dough
- Add more all-purpose flour, a little at a time, until the dough no longer sticks to your hands but is still soft
- Turn the dough out onto 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 leave in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 to 2 hours)
- After rising, shape the loaves as desired
- Place the shaped loaves in a loaf pan previously greased and floured or lined with parchment paper
- Cover the loaves again with a cloth and let rise for another 30 to 60 minutes
- Preheat the oven to 200°C
- Bake the loaves in the preheated 200°C oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. The time may vary depending on the oven
- Remove the loaves from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving
