Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a loaf pan by lightly greasing it with a bit of olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt.
Make a well in the center and pour in the warm water and olive oil. Gradually mix the ingredients until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the liver pate. Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the chopped onion and garlic until translucent.
Add the chicken livers to the skillet, cooking for 5-7 minutes until they are browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside.
Pour in the low-fat milk, season with salt, pepper, and thyme, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slighty, then blend the mixture until smooth in a food processor.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a loaf. Place it in the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Serve slices of the low-fat bread with a generous spread of liver pate. Store any leftover pate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
