🥖 Ingredients
• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 tsp active dry yeast , ( if using instant yeast , no need to activate for 15 minutes , can directly add to the Flour . Just keep the total liquid 1.5 cup + 1 or 2 tbsp)
• 1½ tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1¼ cups warm milk + 1,2 tbsp (add gradually)
• 2 tbsp oil + 1 tbsp while kneading( any neutral oil)
• 1/4 cup warm water (for activating yeast)
Optional: pumpkin seeds / sesame / hemp seeds
Method
1️⃣ In 1/4 cup warm water, mix sugar and yeast. Let it rest 10–15 minutes until frothy
2️⃣ In a big bowl, mix yeast mixture, 1 cup warm milk, and oil.
3️⃣ In another bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt.
4️⃣ Gradually add liquid mixture to flour and mix well . Add extra 1/4 cup warm milk slowly .
5️⃣ Knead for 10–12 minutes by applying oil on hands until smooth and elastic. Add 1-2 tbsp milk if dough feels dry.
6️⃣ Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 60–90 minutes).
7️⃣ Punch down, remove air bubbles, roll tightly, and place in greased loaf pan.
8️⃣ Second proof 45–60 minutes only (do not overproof).
9️⃣ Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 35-0 minutes until top is golden. After baking brush the bread with some butter , cover and rest .
🔟 Cool completely for 3-4 hours before slicing.
💡 Important Tip
✔ Do not overproof – Whole wheat dough rises faster in a warm oven. Bake when it has risen 80–90%, not fully doubled again.
✔ Dough should be soft & slightly sticky – Avoid adding too much dry flour while kneading.
✔ Knead properly for 10–12 minutes – Good gluten development = better structure and softer crumb.
✔ Remove air bubbles before shaping – Press dough well and roll tightly to avoid hollow tunnels.
