Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 3 cups (360g) whole wheat or multigrain flour
- 1 cup (240ml) warm water (around 105°F / 40°C)
- 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar or honey (to activate the yeast)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (optional, for moisture)
- ¼ cup rolled oats or mixed seeds (sunflower, flax, chia, etc.) for inside and topping
- Optional: 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice (helps improve rise and flavor)
Instructions
1. Activate the Yeast
In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar (or honey), and dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5–10 minutes, until it becomes foamy. This shows the yeast is alive and ready.
2. Mix the Dough
Add flour, salt, oil (if using), and vinegar/lemon juice to the bowl. Stir until a rough dough forms. Fold in oats or seeds. If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water; if too wet, a bit more flour.
