After a
pretty easy Chocolate Fudge, Let’s do some hard work!
Here we go …… Whole Grain Wheat Flour Bread. I got this recipes from here and
it turnout very good, thought of sharing the same to you.
As the name suggest, it’s truly made of Whole
Grain Wheat Flour. (WGWF)
What is
the difference between WGWF vs Wheat
Flour? Whole grain has the entire kernel of the grain from the bran to
the endosperm to the germ. Whereas wheat flour has only the endosperm.
In a
nutshell, this bread is Healthy; good source of vitamins and fiber and is lower
in fat. Since, it’s “Healthy” bread, instead of refined sugar and oil, I go
with honey and Olive oil. Sea salt instead of refined salt. Needless to
mention, it’s my husband favorite (breakfast).
Before
going to the kitchen, Name the Indian bread, which is pretty close to WGWF
Bread (Answer at the end of this post)
It is bit lengthy process takes about 3.5 hrs in
total. The Ingredients are:
3 1/2
cups of Whole Grain Wheat Flour ; 40 ml of honey ; 40
ml of Olive Oil ; 1 1/2 Cups of hot water ; 1 Tbsp.
Molasses ; 1/2 Tbsp. Sea Salt ; 1 Tbsp. of Dry Active Yeast
Okay let’s fold our sleeves and get in to job.
Add
Yeast, honey, molasses in Luke warm water, stir and set aside for frothy then
add salt, oil and two cups of WGWF into it. Starts mixing well then add 3 to 4
cups of WGWF.
Mix
until the consistency is even. Then continue to slowly add WGWF 1/2 Cup at a
time until the dough quits sticking to the sides of the bowl.
The
trick is to have enough consistency to stand up with the least amount of flour
so the bread will be fluffy. In any case do not exceed the specified amount of
wheat flour, otherwise the bread will be tough.
Once
the dough is ready, Cover the bowl and allow it to rise for about 30-45
minutes. (Again, depends on the atmosphere temperature)
Mix
again just enough to knock it down to the original size. Drop the dough on a
floured surface to Roll and shape it in your hands to make a nice ball getting
enough flour on it so it isn't sticky.
Shape
the loaves by turning the dough under its self over and over. And shape to
oblong and Drop the loaves in your Pre greased bread pans and let them rise
until almost doubled.
Keep the pan in the preheated oven at 350°C for
30 minutes.
When
done turn the bread out of the pan to a rack to cool and Slice with shredded
knife. Now it’s up to you, toast, sandwich, or just with cup of tea or Juice.
