Where to find ingredients

Preparation method
- In a large bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in the warm water
- Add the brown sugar and mix well
- Incorporate the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ, and flaxseeds
- Gradually stir in the wholemeal wheat flour until a homogenous dough forms
- Add more wheat flour, a little at a time, until the dough pulls away from your hands but remains soft
- Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface
- Knead the dough vigorously for about 10 to 15 minutes until 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 (approximately 1 to 2 hours)
- Once risen, shape the dough into your desired bread loaf form
- Place the shaped loaves into a greased and floured loaf tin or one lined with baking paper
- Cover the loaves again with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 to 60 minutes
- Preheat the oven to 200°C
- Bake the loaves in the preheated oven at 200°C for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through; baking time may vary depending on your oven
- Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving
