Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients in the baking aisle, the flour section, the cereal aisle, and the fresh yeast or dry baking yeast section at your local supermarket or neighborhood grocery. If fresh yeast is unavailable, active dry yeast can be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, dissolve the fresh biological 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 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 place until doubled in size (about 1 to 2 hours)
- After rising, shape the loaves as desired
- Arrange 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 timing may vary depending on the oven
- Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving
