Ingredients

• 400 grams Whole wheat flour
• 200 grams Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 150 ml Almond milk (unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 7 grams Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 2 tablespoons Rolled oats

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine 100 ml of almond milk with honey and heat gently until lukewarm. Add the active dry yeast, stir and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yogurt, olive oil, the yeast mixture, and the remaining almond milk.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients together using a wooden spoon or a dough whisk until the dough begins to form.

Step 4

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it, then cover it with a clean cloth or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough to release the gas and transfer it back to the floured surface. Gently knead in the ground flaxseed.

Step 8

Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in the prepared loaf pan. Cover it with the cloth again and let it rise for another 20-30 minutes until it fills out the pan.

Step 9

Brush the top lightly with almond milk and sprinkle rolled oats over the top as garnish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
