Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at local grocery stores, markets, or health food shops. Fresh yeast can often be found in the refrigerated section of supermarkets; if unavailable, a dry yeast substitute may be used, though the original fresh yeast is preferred for the best rise.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in the warm water.
- Add the brown sugar and mix well.
- Add the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ, and flaxseeds.
- Gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour, mixing until you obtain a homogeneous dough.
- Add more all-purpose flour, bit by bit, until the dough stops sticking to 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 it doubles in volume (approximately 1 to 2 hours).
- After rising, shape the loaves into your desired form.
- Place the shaped loaves in a loaf pan that has been 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 oven at 200°C for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden and cooked through. Time may vary depending on your oven.
- Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
