Healthy Bread

 
-8th April 2014-

Me & my brother making a really yummy & healthy bread.

You can change the amounts by using the percentage.

Wholemeal/Strong White Flour 250g/250g 100%
Lukewarm water 325g (Weight is always best) 65%
Salt 7.5g 1.5%
Yeast 5g 1%
                        Sunflower/Sesame/Pumpkin Seeds 2tbsp each












Weigh all the ingredients into a large bowl.

Give it a good mix...

& get really sticky hands.



Turn the mix out onto a smooth clean surface.

Stretch

Roll

Knead

until smooth. Roll into a ball and twist and pull to seal bottom.

Put in an oiled bowl with plenty of room to expand. Cover with a teatowel and leave in warm/not cold place to ferment for a minimum of 2 hours.

Until it has doubled in size.

Gently stretch into a big rectangle and fold one end into the centre

and the other over

Put in an oiled loaf tin and leave to prove for an hour in a warm/not cold place covered with oiled cling film/cloth.

Until it is loaf shaped. Give the loaf a cut from one end to the other down the centre with a serrated knife. Sprinkle over some flour for a rustic look. Get your oven pre-heated to its highest temp.

If you want to put seeds on top do this before the flour or they will fall off. Turn the oven down to Gas 7 (200 degrees)

Bake for approx 25 mins. Gets Dads & Mums to check if its Golden & Crusty. Gently ease the bread from the tin. The bread may seem damp looking on the bottom, if so place in the oven upside down for a further 5 minutes. Let cool on a rack. Once cool just wrap in a tea-towel & put in the bread bin to keep crusty.

 For toast, for soups, for sandwiches ♥ Beautiful ♥
