Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh baker's yeast in the refrigerated section of most supermarkets or at specialty bakery supply shops. Whole-wheat flour, rolled oats, wheat germ, and flaxseeds are readily available in the baking or healthy food aisles of any major grocery store. Muscovado sugar is often found in the specialty sugar or natural foods section.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in the warm water
- Add the muscovado sugar and mix well until combined
- Stir in the vegetable oil, salt, rolled oats, wheat germ, and flaxseeds
- Gradually incorporate the whole-wheat flour, mixing until you have a uniform dough
- Add all-purpose flour a little at a time until the dough pulls away from your hands, ensuring it remains soft
- Turn the dough out onto 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 into a lightly greased or floured bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot until it has doubled in size (roughly 1 to 2 hours)
- Once risen, shape the dough into your preferred loaf size
- Place the shaped loaves into a greased and floured loaf pan or one lined with parchment paper
- Cover the pans with a towel again and let the loaves proof for another 30 to 60 minutes
- Preheat your oven to 200°C
- Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. Baking times may vary depending on your oven
- Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving
