Wheat flour bread gives you a guilt free indulgence.

With cylindrical shape of wheat bread, round slices are definitely more appealing, so you can pack sandwiches for your kiddo’s lunch box. I am sure you will find lunch box empty in the evening. Nothing can make a mother more happy than taking out empty lunch box from their kid’s school bag.

Any snack prepared by these beautiful round slices would be a great attraction for your kitty party too.

The main problem generally people face in not trying healthy baking bread is that sometimes  family members are so much accustomed to the taste of market bought bread that there is no encouragement to bake healthy bread.

To turn your loved ones into healthy eating habits, you can just show them the list of ingredients printed on any branded bread pack and compare it with the list of ingredients you would be using while preparing a home baked bread. I believe this comparison will be helpful in changing their mindset.

Please go through all the tips before you start kneading the dough …

Ingredients :

Wheat flour 3 cups
Milk powder 1/8 cup
Salt         1+1/4 tsp
Sugar      2 tbsp
Instant active yeast 1 tsp
Oil /butter      2 tbsp
Water/ milk    1+3/4 cups minus 2 tbsp(should be slightly warmer than lukewarm but not hot)

Tips :

  1. Except water, rest of the ingredients should be used at room temperature.

  2. Instead of water, milk can be used to knead the dough. Or you can take both milk and water in 50:50 ratio.

  3. Every oven is different – so baking time may vary.

  4. Dough proofing time depends a lot on the temperature of your kitchen. In colder temperature first proofing can take 60 to 90 minutes. In warmer temperatures it might get over in 40 to 50 minutes. The same logic will be for second proofing time also.

  5. Wheat flour dough is more delicate than all purpose flour dough. So after first proofing don’t knead it much. Punch it and bring it back together to roll the log.

  6. To achieve best results in wheat flour bread, don’t be lazy in kneading. I always knead wheat flour bread dough for almost 20 minutes.

  7. Absorbing liquid quality of flour varies. So don’t follow blindly the quantity of water /milk given in the recipe. If required, add or reduce 1-2 tbsp of water.

  8. Don’t compare the result of home baked wheat flour bread with market bought wheat flour bread. We are not adding any artificial gluten, emulsifier, or bread enhancer. We are trying to bake a healthy bread loaf, so it might be slightly heavy and dense. For better results, try to use milled flour than packed ones.

  9. Don’t get discouraged if your first loaf of bread is not as good as you had expected. Try to find out the problem, sort it and with the same excitement, give another trial, you will surely get it!!

I am posting link and complete address of the shop from where I purchased this bread tin/mould. It is an Institute of baking and cake art, and within their premises they have this shop, probably for the convenience of their students.

46/3, Mission road – Double road junction, Above Noble stores, Bangalore – 560027, Mission Road, Bangalore, 560027, Karnataka

This bread tin/mould is also available on Amazon.

Measurements for bread tin

11 inch length
3 inch diameter

Process:

Collect all dry ingredients in a big vessel.

img_20181231_104939593

Slowly start pouring water and start collecting dry ingredients together in shape of a dough. Don’t worry about loose or tight consistency of dough at this stage.

IMG_20180816_134930243

Now start pouring  remaining water 1 tbsp at a time and  knead the dough for 20 minutes by adding oil/butter simultaneously.

Initially, kneading will look a lot messy and sticky, but slowly  dough will become smooth. Keep the dough in an oil greased bowl for first proofing (bowl should be big enough to have extra space for doubled up dough). Apply some oil on top of the dough to avoid it drying. Cling wrap the bowl and keep it at a warm place for first proofing. I generally keep my bowl in  switched-off microwave. First proofing takes 1 to 1+1/2 hours depending on the temperature of your kitchen.

In the meantime oil grease both sides of the bread tin.

Once dough doubles up, sprinkle some flour on clean kitchen counter or grease it with oil. Take out the dough and punch it softly.

img_20190206_143758515-1

Knead the dough very softly and spread it according to the size of bread tin.

IMG_20190206_144058406.jpg

Start rolling it tightly in the shape of a log.

IMG_20190206_144229254.jpg

Seal the sides by pinching them tightly.

IMG_20190206_144514760.jpg

Keep this wheat flour sandwich bread log into the tin by keeping seamed side at the bottom and apply oil on top of the log to avoid it drying. Close the tin and once more keep it in the switched-off microwave or any warm place for second proofing. Second proofing generally takes 15 to 20 minutes.

Just 10 minutes before baking, preheat your oven at 185-190 degrees for 10 minutes. Give milk wash to proofed dough and bake it in a preheated oven at the same temperature for 40-50 minutes or till the bread  becomes evenly brown.

I bet you will fall in love with your gorgeous bake of wheat flour based cylindrical sandwich bread 💞

Apply butter on hot log of bread. Butter will be helpful in keeping the bread soft. Take out bread from the oven and let it cool down completely on cooling rack. Don’t let the bread stay in tin for long. Steam from hot bread will make the bread soggy from the bottom.

Once bread cools down completely, you can slice it. But if you can control your temptation for a few hours more, you will get the best slices!!

 

Once bread cools down completely, wrap it in 3-4 layers of cling film and keep it in the fridge. This will settle down the crumb of bread and later slice it with bread cutting serrated knife.

Wheat flour Sandwich bread (2)

Remember my post forWhite Sandwich Bread(2)  I had mentioned that I had bought local made bread tins for getting square bread slices rather than buying expensive branded tins. Again I  used the same local made bread tin, but this one is slightly different than the previously used. This tin has tight lid and is slightly bigger. Because of tight lid you can get very neat edges in your bread.

IMG_20190104_130116234.jpg

 

Initially I had baked all purpose flour bread with 3+1/2 cups of flour in this tin. Loaf came out perfect, so I tried wheat flour sandwich bread with the same amount of flour.

Bread was really good.

IMG_20190102_144639453.jpg

Beautiful slices and very soft bread.

IMG_20190102_145923488.jpg

IMG_20190102_145341218.jpg

But neat edges were missing!!

 

IMG_20190102_143601658.jpg

IMG_20190102_145923488.jpg

I realized my mistake!

Wheat flour doesn’t rise as much as all purpose flour, so to achieve neat edges I have to increase the flour quantity.

So I used 4 cups of wheat flour and voila!!  I got what I was looking for ….!

img_20190104_124724606

If you are new in bread baking and planning to buy bread tin, I will suggest you to buy tin with the lid. If you are interested to bake a loaf without lid and want to witness the beauty of  bread rising in your oven, just remove the lid and use this tin. And if you want to try neat edges in your bread, then also use this tin with its cover.

Ingredients :

Wheat flour               4 cups
Milk powder             4 tbsp
Salt                             1 +1/2 tsp
Sugar                         3 tbsp
Instant active yeast 1 +1/2 tsp
Oil/butter                 4 tbsp
Water/Milk              2 cups+ 2 to 4 tbsp (reduce or increase as per the absorbing quality of flour) slightly warmer than lukewarm.

Bread tin size :  width: 10 inch   height: 3 inch   depth 4 inch

Tips :

1. All ingredients should be on room temperature except water.

2. Instead of water, milk can be used to knead the dough. Or can take both milk and water in 50:50 ratio.

3. Every oven is different – so baking time may vary.

4. Dough proofing time depends a lot on the temperature of your kitchen. In colder temperature first proofing can take 60 to 90 minutes. In warmer temperatures it might get over in 40 to 50 minutes.

5. Wheat flour dough is slightly delicate than all purpose flour dough. So after first proofing don’t knead it much. Punch it and bring it back together to roll the log.

6. If using dry active yeast take 2+1/4 tsp.

7. Don’t compare the result of homebaked complete wheat flour bread with market bought wheat flour bread. We are not adding any artificial gluten, emulsifier, or bread enhancer. We are trying to bake a healthy bread of loaf, so it might be slightly heavy and dense. For better results try to use milled flour than packed ones.

8. For more tips on bread baking you can check my post on Wheat flour buns with pizza spices (2) (basic tips to follow if following a bread /buns recipe)

 

Process :

Collect all dry ingredients in a big size vessel so that it’s easy to mix and knead the dough if you are not using a mixer.

IMG_20181231_104939593.jpg

Make a rough dough by mixing all ingredients together with the help of water/milk…don’t use entire quantity of water/milk in this step.

IMG_20190104_122757608.jpg

Now start kneading the dough and keep adding remaining water/milk along with oil/butter for 15 – 20 minutes or till dough becomes smooth.

IMG_20190104_123506370.jpg

Keep this smooth dough in an oil greased bowl. Apply some oil on top of the dough and cover it with wet kitchen towel or cling film. Keep this bowl in a warm place for first proofing (the dough rises up and doubles in size). (check tip #4)

IMG_20181231_114922585.jpg

IMG_20181231_132056067_BURST000_COVER_TOP.jpg

In the meantime grease bread tin and its cover with oil.

IMG_20181231_132013977.jpg

Spread some flour on clean kitchen counter or grease it with oil. After first proofing take out the dough and punch it gently.

IMG_20181231_132302288.jpg

Collect the dough together, gently knead it and spread it in a rectangular shape as per the size of your bread tin.

IMG_20181231_132554207.jpg

Start rolling it and prepare a tight log.

IMG_20181231_132617424.jpg

Seam the edges by pinching them.

IMG_20181231_132830957.jpg

IMG_20181231_132923068_BURST000_COVER_TOP.jpg

Keeping the seam side at the bottom, place the log in oil greased bread tin. Apply some oil/melted butter on top of the log to avoid it drying. Cover the tin and and keep it for second proofing.

img_20181231_132957752

IMG_20190102_143228598.jpg

Second proofing will be over in 20-30 minutes…just 10 minutes before second proofing is getting over, preheat oven at 190 degrees.

Give milk wash to the log, cover it with tin cover and bake it on the same temperature for 40-50 minutes or while tapping, the top of the bread sounds hollow.

img_20190102_150257557

img_20181231_135700106

If top of the bread is not brown enough, uncover the tin and bake with the top rod on for 5-7 minutes or till you get the desired brown beauty!!

IMG_20190102_163111682.jpg

Take the tin out of the oven, apply butter on top of the bread so that it can remain soft and keep it on the cooling rack for 5-7 minutes and then take out the bread. Don’t leave bread in the tin for longer than this. Heat trapped inside the bread will turn bottom of the bread soggy. Once bread cools down completely, give 2-3 cling wrap folds and keep it in the fridge for 4-5 hours.
