Whole Wheat Bread
INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp active dried yeast
1/4 cup luke warm water
3/4 cup rolled oats
2 cups milk
2 tsp salt
1/4 cup oil
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 tbsp honey
2 eggs lightly beaten
1 oz wheatgerm
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour ( You can used a different flour, in the recipe they used soya flour)
scant 2 and 1/2 cups of wholemeal flour
4 cups of strong flour or bread flour
Note: Scant means Falling short of a specific measure ex. a scant cup of sugar.
Stir in the yeast mixture, eggs, wheat germ, soya and whole meal flours. Gradually stir in enough strong flour to obtain a rough dough.Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead, adding flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic. At this point i felt my dough was a little stiff but when it started to rise I didn't worry about it too much. Return to a clean bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about two and half hours.
Grease two 22 by 11cm/8 1/2 by 4 1/2 loaf tins. Punch down the risen dough and knead briefly. then divide the dough into quarters. Roll each quarter into a cylinder 4cm/1 1/2 inch thick. Twist together two cylinders and place in tin; repeat for the remaining cylinders. At this stage I did not go through this process instead I just divided my dough in three, rolled each into logs and place in the pans to rise. Cover and leave to rise until doubled in volume again, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 190 degrees C/ 375 degrees F/ Gas 5.
Bake until the bases sound hollow when tapped lightly, about 45-50 minutes. Turn out and cool on a wire rack.
Bon Appetite
