Wholemeal Bread Recipe for Fresh Milled Flour {with video}
The perfect recipe for those who mill their own grains!
Ingredients
- 300 g Hard Wheat Grain
- 150 g Soft Wheat Grain
- 7 g Butter (room temperature)
- 275 ml Warm Water
- 1 tsp Light Brown Sugar
- 15 g Fresh Yeast
Instructions
- Begin by milling your wheat grain with your milling machine. I use a mixture of soft and hard wheat berries to create a whole purpose flour, but if you only have hard wheat berries, this will work too.
- Mix the yeast, sugar, and warm water and leave to rise.
- Once your berries are milled, add into your stand mixer your flour, salt, butter and sugar. Pour in your yeast mixture and mix for 5 minutes until a smooth elastic dough is formed.
- Shape into a ball and allow to rise in a greased bowl until doubled in size. About 30 minutes on a warm day, or an hour on a colder day.
- Turn out the risen down and knock any air bubbles out. Push your dough out into a rectangle shape, having the width the same as your bread tin. Roll up the dough, pinching the seams and rolling in the ends. (see video for visual instruction if needed).
- Allow to rise for 35 minutes or until 1 inch from the top if you are using a lidded bread pan.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool before slicing.
