Whole Wheat Bread

Whole wheat bread is a type of brown bread which is made of wheat flour as a healthy alternative. Generally, bread is made of plain flour, but this homemade bread made of wheat flour is healthy and ideal for breakfast. 

Bread is a staple food of many cuisines all over the world and hence we may find many variations to it. In India, people have flatbreads which is made of wheat and plain flour, whereas in other countries, people shape the bread into a loaf and later slice them as per their requirement. 

So, now let me share some important tips and suggestions to make this whole wheat bread. Firstly, make sure to knead the dough very well, or else the bread will turn hard making it difficult to eat. Secondly, once the dough has risen in the bread loaf pan, do not forget to brush the dough with some milk, as it helps in giving a golden brown color and a crunchy texture. Finally, if you're a vegan, you can replace the milk with water.

Ingredients:-

1 cup milk, warm

2 tbsp sugar

1/2 tbsp active dry yeast

3 cup wheat flour/atta

1 tsp salt

2 tbsp oil

1/2 cup water

Method:-

1. Firstly, in a large mixing bowl, take warm milk. To it add sugar and active dry yeast. Mix them well. Allow them to rest for 5-10 mins or until the yeast activates. 

2. Next, add wheat flour, salt and oil. Mix them well making sure that everything is well combined. Further add water and knead for 5 mins. 

3. Further take the dough out on a flat surface and sprinkle some dry wheat flour to prevent from sticking. Continue to knead the dough for 10 mins or until the dough becomes light and airy. Fold the dough and tuck well. 

4. Now, place the folded and kneaded dough into a greased bowl. Further cover the dough with a cling wrap or a moist cloth and allow it to rest for 2 hours or until it doubles in size. 

5. Next, take the dough out and knead the dough by folding from the corners. Further roll the dough into a cylindrical shape and flatten them slightly. 

6. Now, fold the dough and roll them tight. Further place the dough into a greased bread loaf pan and press them gently from all sides. Cover with a cling wrap and rest the dough for 30-40 mins.

7. Further brush the dough with some milk to get a golden brown color on baking. Next, place the pan in a pre-heated oven and bake at 180 degree Celsius for 30-35 mins. 

8. Further rub a tsp of butter on top of the bread to get a shiny crust. Remove the bread immediately from the pan and allow them to cool for 5-10 mins before slicing. 

9. Finally, serve freshly baked whole wheat bread with tea, jam or mayonnaise.
