Ingredients
Method
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, 2/3 of the rolled oats, yeast and granulated sweetener whisk together till well combined. Add in the raisins, flaxseed, sesame seeds and sea salt and combine.
- In another small mixing bowl, whisk in the milk and the cooking oil or melted butter.
- Make a well at the center of the bowl containing the dry ingredients and pour in the milk mixture. Knead till the dough comes together for about 10minutes. (You can use a stand mixer for this if you have one).
- Grease a bowl with a little oil and place the dough inside shaped like a ball. Cover with a plastic wrap and a wet towel then allow to rise until it doubles in size, for about 1.5 to 2 hours in a warm place.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down to remove the air. Flatten it to the size of your baking tin then roll into a log. Place the rolled dough into an oiled baking tin. Press it down with your palm to spread and cover the entire pan. Cover with an oiled cling film then a dump kitchen towel. Allow it to rise again until it’s puffy for about 1 hour to 1.5 hours.
- Once puffy again, remove the kitchen towel & the cling film then using a pastry brush, brush the egg wash on top then sprinkle the remaining oats on top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°c for 40 to 45 minutes.
- Let it cool for about 30 minutes, slice and serve.
Notes
* In most cases I use monkfruit sweetener as my choice of healthy sweetener which is diabetics friendly, sugar free, non GMO, low calorie, keto approved, vegan friendly, acts as anti-inflammatory among other health benefits. Incase you don’t have it on hand, you can use equal measure of regular sugar.
**Incase you are on a dairy free diet, feel free to use any plant milk you desire or even water. Make sure it is equal amounts.
