Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients in the flour aisle, baking section, and fresh produce market stalls; if needed, use whole wheat flour as the ideal option and a local substitute for fresh biological yeast.
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 work in the whole wheat flour, mixing until you have a smooth dough
- Add more wheat flour, a little at a time, until the dough no longer sticks to your hands but is still 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 place until doubled in size (approximately 1 to 2 hours)
- After it has risen, shape the loaves as desired
- Place the shaped loaves in a loaf tin previously greased and floured or 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 200°C oven for approximately 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 them cool on a wire rack before serving
