Ingredients

1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1-2/3 to 2 cups bread flour

Directions

1

Let yogurt stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the whole wheat flour, wheat germ, sugar, oil, salt and yogurt. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough bread flour to form a firm dough.
2

Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3

Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; shape into a loaf. Place in a 9x5-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes.

Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
