This delicious Vogel's Style bread is made with wholemeal flour and seeds. Perfect in the toaster and it freezes well.
Is there anything more satisfying than baking your own bread? I love having a few different options up my sleeve and this Vogel's Style no-knead bread is packed with goodness. While this loaf is super soft on the day you make it, just like regular Vogel's or Burgen it's better toasted the next day.
This loaf freezes really well, just remember to slice it before you put it in the freezer. That way you can grab a couple of pieces when you need them. You could freeze it in a bread bag, ziplock bag or cling film.
HOW TO MAKE a homemade no-knead Vogel's style loaf:
To begin, add both the flours along with the seeds, rolled oats, dried yeast and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk together. Pour in the warm water then mix it all until combined, making sure to scrape down any extra dough off the sides.
Cover with a beeswax wrap, tea towel or cling film and leave on the bench overnight or between 6-24 hours. When you are ready to bake the bread, switch the oven on to 200°C fanbake. I often make my dough before heading to bed then switch the oven on as soon as I wake up.
Roughly shape the dough into an oval shape then place in an oiled loaf tin. Leave it on the bench to rise slightly while the oven heats to temperature, roughly 20 minutes. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden then serve the warm bread with butter.

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT this loaf:
Can I use different seeds? Sure thing. You could add some sesame seeds or poppy seeds or linseeds to the mix or even sprinkle some on top if you like.
What size is your loaf tin? Mine is a Jamie Oliver non-stick one from Farmers and measures 19cm x 11.5cm x 5cm.

After searching for a homemade Vogel’s recipe for about 15 years and giving up entirely I decided to have another go during the latest lockdown. I tried about five different recipes and variations of each then thought I would try this one even though it looked to good to be true.
Well I regret leaving it til last.
This bread rocks!!!
It is so quick and easy and tasty that I don’t buy Vogel’s any more. Why would you when you can throw it together when you are tired and it’s pretty hard to stuff up? I add a TBSN of ACV or white vinegar and put in 1.5 T buckwheat groats and 1.5 any other seeds (3 in total as per recipe) and use 1/4 cup rolled oats and 1/4 cup mixed grain (not presoaked) instead of 1/2 cup of rolled oats because I like mixed grain.
So a huge thank you you clever lady and I am going to try your other recipes.
Vanya
Wow this is such great feedback thank you so much Kate
Teresa
Why the tablespoon of vinegar?
Christopher Peter Smith
I live in the States but grew up in NZ. I recently started making bread at home and I've always remembered being fed Vogel's bread by my mum. It was known also as Reisenstein's back then (not sure I've spelled the name right though). Either as toast or for sandwich bread, I ate it almost every day of my childhood. Being young I liked good old empty calories white bread more and didn't appreciate what great bread I was eating, since in the 70s quality multigrain bread wasn't the thing it is now. Over the years I've never found store bought American bread to be anywhere near as good as its NZ counterpart.
Anyway, to cut an already too long story short, I began to wonder if it would be possible for me to make something like Vogel's at home but had no idea how to begin. Thanks to the glories of the internet, and to you Vanya, it's now possible. There's nothing like food to bring back memories! One question I have: I seem to remember the Vogel's of the olden days had pearled barley in it. If I were to try to use barley, how would I go about preparing/softening it up first and how much do you think I should add? Cheers,
CS.
VJ Cooks
There's nothing quite like food to transport you somewhere or sometime. I haven't used pearl barley in bread before sorry! But a quick google of some recipes shows the best method is to cook it as per the packet instructions (boiled in a pot), allow it to cool then add to the bread with the flour. I really can't say much more than that though sorry. Good luck on your quest!

Hi Vanya
I currently only have instant yeast in pantry, would this work? Thank you
Lanni
VJ cooks
Hi Lanni, yes that should work as long as it isn't past its best before.
Frank
Are the conversions to grams accurate ? The conversion factors I have used are very different from what you have given in the recipe by a long way? Sorry to question but I have followed recipes in the past only to waste the ingredients as it hasn’t turned out well to say the least.
Thanks
VJ cooks
Hi Frank, yes they are correct bar the rolled oats. That should have read 40g which I have now amended.
isobel middleton
is the yeast 1 teaspoon or tablespoon
VJ cooks
1 teaspoon.
Loretta
Yum I can’t wait to try making this! I’m an Aussie living in the US and bread is not great here. I have been searching high and low for a recipe to recreate Burgen fruit and muesli bread. I miss that stuff so much! Thanks for your beautiful recipes!
VJ cooks
Eep yes, I remember bread being very sweet there! Good luck, I hope this goes well for you 🙂
Jo Corden
Im no breadmaker but gave this recipe a go . baked it in a loaf tin with only 6.5 cm sides so had mixture leftover. Well this recipe is so damn easy and delicious that I have now ordered a proper bread loaf tin with 11cm sides to take all the mixture . Cant wait to make again thankyou.
VJ cooks
I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you for taking the time to post this feedback. Happy bread making 🙂
Jo
First time using this recipe. My 'dough' is very runny and I am unable to shape! I have poured dough into loaf tin. Not sure what has gone wrong? Fingers crossed my bread will still come out OK!!
VJ cooks
Hmm I'm not sure sorry. Double check you used the right quantities of the ingredients, especially the flour. Also, make sure your yeast hasn't expired.
Jen
Is the whole meal flour a plain or self raising flour please ?
VJ cooks
Plain wholemeal flour. The rising agent is the yeast.
Sandra Dale
Gram weights and loaf tin size would be great
VJ cooks
My tin size is 19cm x 11.5cm x 5cm.
I've added the gram weights onto the recipe card.
Luke Peacock
