This light, nutty tasting bread gets its “bite” from the flaxseed, rye flakes and malted grains contained in the corn flour. Yogurt is a very useful ingredient in bread baking, because it not only makes a tart pleasant taste, but also provides valuable enzymes for digestion.
(*) Grain flour: A specially made wheat flour that contains a small mass of whole flour mixed with malt to preserve its quality and moisture. Tastes great when roasted.
Good luck!
