What's more special than the smell of a freshly baked homemade bread, and that too Whole Wheat Bread!
Ingredients:
2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1.5 teaspoons Instant Dry Yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2-3 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup warm milk
butter, for brushing
Method:
Take 1/4 cup warm milk and add sugar to it. Add yeast, mix well and keep it aside for 5-7 minutes.
In a bigger bowl, add whole wheat flour and salt & mix well.
Add bloomed yeast to it and using more warm milk, knead it into a soft & sticky dough.
Dust your kitchen table or mat and start kneading the dough using the stretch & fold technique.
Knead it for 10-15 minutes applying oil as needed, until the dough becomes smooth & less sticky.
Grease the big bowl and place the dough inside. Grease the dough from top too and cover it with a lid. Let it rest for 1-1.5 hours till the dough doubles in size.
After the dough has doubled, now punch the dough to remove excess air bubbles.
Knead it for 30 seconds and start rolling it using a rolling pin. Use dry flour if needed.
Roll it into a rectangular sheet and start folding in from one end. Tucking each fold tightly.
Keep it in a greased loaf pan for 1 hour. Cover it with a greased cling wrap.
Preheat the OTG or oven for 15 minutes at 200ËšC.
After 1 hour, brush the bread with milk and keep it for baking. Bake at 200ËšC for 30-35 minutes.
Brush the bread with butter immediately once out of the oven. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 2-3 hours before slicing it.
