10 ANSWERS FOR THE BEST
Wheatgerm bread
40g/2?oz wholewheat grains
100g/3?oz wheatgerm
400g/14oz strong wholewheat flour
? tsp fine sea salt
340ml/12fl oz water, at room temperature
60ml/2?fl oz orange juice, at room temperature
40g/2?oz honey
1? tsp fresh yeast, crumbled
olive oil, for greasing
flour, for dusting
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
2. Place the wholewheat grains into a saucepan over a medium heat and cover with water. Bring to the boil and reduce the heat to simmer for 30 minutes, adding more boiling water if necessary to ensure that the grains remain covered with water at all times. Remove from the heat and add cold water to cool the grains to lukewarm, then drain.
3. Pour the wheatgerm onto a clean baking sheet and place into the oven to bake for 12 minutes, shaking the sheet or stirring the wheatgerm halfway through, to ensure an even toasting of the germ. Once the wheatgerm is nicely browned, remove from the oven and leave to cool.
4. Place the flour, salt and toasted wheatgerm into a large bowl and mix together.
5. Place the water, orange juice and honey into a separate bowl and mix together well.
6. Add the yeast and wholewheat grains and stir to mix well and dissolve the yeast.
7. Add the flour and wheatgerm mixture and, using your hands, mix together to evenly combine. Cover and leave to stand for five minutes.
8. Grease and flour a narrow loaf tin. Rub olive oil onto a flat work surface and place the dough onto it. Knead the dough for ten seconds then return to the bowl to rest for five minutes, then remove and briefly knead again. Return to the bowl for five minutes, then remove, knead and roll the dough into a ball and then leave to rest for ten more minutes.
9. Place the dough onto a flat floured surface and pat into a rectangular shape that roughly measures 25cm/10ins left-to-right and 20cm/8in front-to-back. Starting at the end furthest from you, roll the dough tightly inwards, then pat the ends in so that the dough fits nicely into the loaf tin.
10. Place the dough into the loaf tin and cover with a cloth and leave in a warm (not hot) place for about one and a half hours, until it has risen 1cm over the top of the tin.
11. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
12. Use a sharp knife to make diagonal slashes across the top of the loaf and place it into the oven to bake for a minimum of 45 minutes, until the top is a golden-brown colour and the edges have come away from the sides of the tin.
13. Remove the loaf from the tin and leave to cool on a wire rack. When cold wrap in waxed paper to store for up to three days.
Use wholemeal flour, water and yeast with a tablespoon of olive oil for a little moisture - standard recipe, what's the problem?
My standard bread recipe:
3 cups flour
3 Tbsp butter (you could leave this out)
0.5 tsp salt
9 oz milk
3 Tbsp honey
1.5 tsp yeast
Makes a 1.5 pound loaf; I use a bread machine.
All you need are:
strong flour (500gm)
yeast 1 teaspoon
sugar 1 teaspoon
salt half-1 teaspoon
water 275 ml
oil 1 tablespoon
Mix, knead, leave in warm place to rise for 2 hrs, knock back, knead lightly, place in bread tin and bake at 180 deg for 45 - mins - 1 hr.
aha! have you noticed like me that buying completely unadulterated flour is virtually impossible?
i think you would have to find your own windmill!!!
If you are in the UK go to the supermarket and look in the bit where the flour is and you can by bread mixes (it will look like a small bag of flour). They come in different varietys. You just add water and do some kneading then bake it . Its nice.
strong bread flour yeast sugar salt and watter no other ingredients required .
theres loads of recipees you could look up but a basic bread dough is all that you need to use admittedly you wont get any fancy bread but there are no preservatives in this so the bread wont last that long and as for flour types any strong bread flour will do be it white wholemeal etc it will taste like old fashioned bread nice
