1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup flaxseeds

All-purpose flour (as needed to reach the right consistency)

Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh yeast in the refrigerated dairy section of major supermarkets. Muscovado sugar and wheat germ are usually located in the baking aisle or the organic/health food section. For the oats and flaxseeds, check the grains or cereal aisles of local grocery stores.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in the warm water.
- Add the muscovado sugar and stir well until combined.
- Stir in the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ, and flaxseeds.
- Gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour, mixing until a uniform dough forms.
- Add the all-purpose flour, little by little, until the dough pulls away from your hands while remaining 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 into 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 the dough has risen, shape it into your preferred loaf form.
- Place the shaped dough into a greased and floured loaf pan, or use one lined with parchment paper.
- Cover the loaf again with a cloth and let it proof for another 30 to 60 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C.
- Bake the bread in the preheated oven for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
