Baking has become one of my passions and the husband likes the smell of fresh baked bread. Needless to say, I enthusiastically tried to bake this wholemeal bread which came out just as perfect :) Here is the recipe... (I weighed the ingredients and hand baked it as I did not have a machine)
1. Add flour and salt in a large bowl, stir in the sugar and yeast and add oil. Add enough water and mix well to form a soft dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth.
2. Shape the dough on a baking tray and cover and leave it to rise. Keep it in a warm place for about 30 to 45 minutes until it doubles in size. In the mean time, preheat the oven to 230deg C.
Ingredients:
- Wholemeal Bread Flour - 475 g
- Salt - 1 1/2 tsp
- Sugar - 1 tsp
- * Vegetable Oil - 15ml
- Dry Yeast - 7g or a sachet
- Warm Water - 300 ml (1 part boiling , 2 pasts cold)
1. Add flour and salt in a large bowl, stir in the sugar and yeast and add oil. Add enough water and mix well to form a soft dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth.
2. Shape the dough on a baking tray and cover and leave it to rise. Keep it in a warm place for about 30 to 45 minutes until it doubles in size. In the mean time, preheat the oven to 230deg C.
3. Bake the loaf for 15 minutes and then reduce the oven temperature to 200deg C and bake further for about 15 - 20 mins, or until the bread turns golden brown as shown in the picture. It sounds hollow when tapped underneath. This is the time to remove from the oven. Cool and serve it :)
** If Vegetable oil is not available, then it can be replaced by 15 g butter
