I want to make some wholemeal bread but I don't have any recipes. I know there are a lot of recipes around but if you could please recommend your favourite that would be great. Thank youWhat are some great wholemeal bread recipes?
100ml (4 fl oz) warm water
20g (3/4 oz) dried active baking yeast
4 tablespoons bread flour
1 tablespoon caster sugar
175g (6 oz) porridge oats
225g (8 oz) wholemeal flour
1L (1 3/4 pints) warm water
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
75g (3 oz) dark brown soft sugar
150ml (5 fl oz) vegetable oil
1.3kg (3 lb) bread flour
preparation method
In the mixing bowl of an electric mixer, stir together 100ml warm water, yeast, 4 tablespoons flour and caster sugar. Let stand for about 5 minutes. It will bubble almost immediately.
Measure oats, wholemeal flour, 1 litre warm water, salt, brown sugar and oil into the mixing bowl. Mix on low speed with a dough hook for 1 to 2 minutes. Increase speed slightly, and begin adding bread flour a little at a time until dough pulls away from sides of bowl. Humidity determines how much flour you need before the bread pulls away from the edge of the bowl. It is normal for the dough to be sticky.
Place dough in an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Divide dough into 6 pieces. Shape loaves, and place in greased 20x10cm (8x4 in) tins. Let rise until dough is 2.5cm (1 in) above rim of tins, usually 1 hour.
Bake at 180 C / Gas mark 4 for 35 minutes, or until tops are browned. Let cool in tins for 10 minutes, and then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
