- Add the brown sugar and mix well
- Add the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ, and flaxseeds
- Gradually incorporate the wholemeal flour, mixing until the dough is uniform
- Add the all-purpose flour little by little until the dough pulls away from your hands but remains soft
- Transfer the dough to 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 spot until doubled in volume (approximately 1 to 2 hours)
- After the dough has risen, shape it into your preferred bread form
- Place the shaped dough into a greased and floured loaf tin, or one lined with baking parchment
- 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 at 200°C for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Baking time may vary depending on your oven
