  • About

It’s great to have a basic wholemeal (whole wheat) bread recipe in your repertoire but it’s not just as simple as replacing white flour with brown. Wholemeal (whole wheat) flour absorbs much more liquid than white and can produce a very dense loaf. This basic loaf is made with a combination of flours to give a much nicer texture.

Ingredients

Bread

  • 160 g (5¾ oz) strong white bread flour
  • 240 g (8½

Method

  1. Follow the same method as the Basic White Loaf but use a combination of wholemeal (whole wheat) and white flours and a slightly increased amount of liquid.
