A lovely, medium sized, easy to make, sandwich loaf using a mix of Wholemeal and White bread flour, that will keep for several days. You can adjust the amount of wholemeal/white bread flour ratio, but you may need to also adjust the volume of water.
More Wholemeal flour will need slightly more water.
30gramsButter at room temperature cut into small cubes
300gramsWholemeal Bread Flour
200gramsStrong White Bread Flour
1teaspoonSea Salt finely crushed
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 190 deg Fan assisted. Grease and flour a 900g Loaf tin.
Mix together the water, yeast, butter and sugar. Leave to one side for a few moments, while the sugar and butter dissolve and the yeast starts to take effect.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flours and salt. Make a well in the centre and add the liquid yeast mixture.
Mix and knead together for about 5 mins.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a towel or cling film and leave to rise until doubled in size.
Remove the dough from the bowl and cut into three equal sizes. Slightly knead each piece of dough into even rounds and place in the prepared baking tin.
Cover with a tea towel or cling film and leave to rise until doubled in size.
With a serrated knife, make cuts in the dough, then bake in the middle shelf for about 45 mins or until baked.
To test, take the bread out of the tin and tap the underside of the bread. If it sounds hollow, it’s done. If not, place it back in the tin for a further 5 – 10 mins before doing the test again.
Once baked, leave out of the tin to cool completely.
