Whole Wheat Bread

Recipe Courtesy: Paul Hollywood

400 grams whole wheat flour

100 grams bread flour

10 grams salt

15 grams Active Dry Yeast

50 grams softened butter

325 ml water

Instructions

Put the flour, salt, yeast and butter into a bowl, then add the water little by little, folding with your hands until all the flour has been picked up. Tip out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until you have a pliable, soft dough. Put the dough back in the bowl and leave for 1 hour.

Oil a 2 lb loaf tin or two 1 pound tins with olive oil. Shape the dough to fit the tin(s), and leave for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. just before you bake the loaf, dust the top with flour and using a sharp knife, make slashes across the top. Bake for 30 – 35 minutes for a 2 pound loaf or 20 – 25 minutes for the smaller tins. Then turn out of the tins onto a wire rack to cool
