Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh yeast, wheat germ, and flaxseeds in the baking aisle or health food sections of major supermarkets like Massy Stores or PriceSmart. All-purpose flour and whole wheat flour are widely available in the flour section of any local grocery store.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in the lukewarm water.
- Add the brown 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, ensuring it remains soft.
- Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured work 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 spot until it has doubled in size (approximately 1 to 2 hours).
- Once risen, shape the dough into your desired loaf form.
- Place the shaped dough into a greased and floured loaf pan, or use parchment paper to line it.
- Cover the loaf again with a cloth and let it prove 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 golden brown and cooked through. Baking times may vary depending on your oven.
- Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
