Editing How to Bake Wholemeal Bread



Baking your own wholemeal bread can be a fun and rewarding experience, not to mention delicious! Here's a simple recipe for baking wholemeal bread:

Ingredients:
- 500g wholemeal flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 7g dried yeast
- 300ml lukewarm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the wholemeal flour, salt, sugar, and dried yeast.

2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the lukewarm water and olive oil.

3. Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms.

4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

5. Place the dough back into the mixing bowl and cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap. Let it rest in a warm, draft-free place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.

6. Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6.

7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a loaf. Place it into a greased loaf tin and let it rest for another 15 minutes.

8. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

9. Remove the bread from the tin and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
