Wholemeal Bread

 

* Dry mix on slow to evenly disperse ingredients.

* Add water slowly with mixer on slow speed.

*Mix on slow speed for 2 minutes.

* Mix on fast speed for 8 - 12 minutes. (Until the dough is sufficiently developed)

* Once mixed, turn onto the bench and scale up @ 770 grams.

* Mould up round and bench or box proof for 15 - 20 minutes.

*  For tin Breads - Run the dough through the final moulding up by hand or crescent machine and tin up for final proof.

* Keep and eye on this stage as over proofing can lead to a poorly shaped and wild looking loaf. The same can be said for Rolls and Vienna also. Lid up when the dough is half - 3/4 way up the tin (depending on gluten development - the more developed, the less height).

* With tins lidded place in the preset oven of 220 - 230 Celsius top and bottom for a period of 26 - 29 minutes.

* Rolls 12 - 14 minutes. Vienna  25 - 35 minutes

Notes.

More wholemeal flour may be used to obtain a more wheatmeal type loaf. Just increase the % of wholemeal flour to white flour.

.

Faults.

* Loaf sunken in at the bottom = less proof.

* Poor oven spring = underdeveloped dough. Mix it more to obtain a smooth textured dough. Remember, the smoother dough (with out over mixing ) the more air you can trap in the proofing periods.

* Dry cracking on the top of my loaf. It looks a funny uneven colour too = the dough is not proved enough. Allow it to ripen more before placing it into the oven.
