Wholemeal Bread

Updated 23 Oct 2012

I was at NTUC, my usual weekend marketing... So I saw the wholemeal flour, which I have never seen in this NTUC, so I decided to buy 1 packet, since it's on offer as well... hahaha...

Here is my 2 loaf of wholemeal bread, fresh from oven...

The texture of the bread is indeed soft & fluffy...

And it is still soft on the 2nd day... :-D

Off it goes in the bag...

The girls liked it as well...!!!

Here is the recipe as adapted from Prima Flour:

WHOLEMEAL BREAD 250 g PrimaFlour Wholemeal Flour 250 g PrimaFlour Bread Flour 25 g Castor Sugar 300 ml Warm Water (41°) 25 g Shortening 10 g Salt 1 ½ Instant Dry Yeast

Instructions

Pour warm water into the PrimaFlour Wholemeal Flour, stand for 45 mins. Put the rest of the ingredients except the shortening into the mixture. Mix at low speed for 1 min with a dough hook. Add the shortening and mix well for another 1 min. Increase the speed to medium and mix for 9 mins till the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and allow to rise in a warm place for about 30-35 mins. Divide the dough into two parts and mould them into cylindrical shapes to fit the bread tins (8.5cm x 18cm x 8cm). Allow the dough to rise for about an hour. Or about 2cm above the tin. Preheat the oven to 200° and bake for about 30-35 mins.
