Where to find ingredients
Find fresh yeast, whole wheat flour, and seeds at local grocery stores or dedicated health food shops. For the 'requeijão' cup measure (approx. 250ml), use any standard measuring cup. If fresh yeast is unavailable, dry instant yeast (approx. 8g) is a common substitute.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, dissolve the fresh biological yeast in the warm water.
- Add the brown sugar and mix well.
- Stir in the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ, and flaxseeds.
- Gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour, mixing until the dough is homogeneous.
- Add more wheat flour little by little until the dough pulls away from your hands, while remaining 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 it doubles in volume (approximately 1 to 2 hours).
- After rising, 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 let them rise for another 30 to 60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are 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.
