Wholly Whole Wheat Flour
Does it happen to you when you look for whole wheat bread recipes and getting excited but only to feel disappointed a few seconds after reading the recipe that it also use other flours like all purpose flour or bread flour?
Well it happened to me many times!
So in today's recipe I'm sharing with you a whole wheat bread that ONLY uses whole wheat flour. Nothing else. Well of course we need the yeast and other ingredients. I'm referring to no other flour than that.
Whole wheat flour without a doubt has much more nutrients than white flour or all purpose flour or bread flour. So it's always great to have a recipe like this in our collection, don't you think?
Apart from using whole wheat flour, I'm also adding in some mixed seeds in the dough. I actually love adding mixed seeds in my homemade breads. They bring some texture, make the breads looks fancy (ha!) and of course they're super healthy.
Everytime I make my husband's mollete (that's his beyond favourite bread for breakfast), I always add mixed seeds in the dough.
It's optional in this recipe, you don't need to add them if you don't want to. Feel free please.
Soft, Airy And Fluffy
Whole wheat breads are always denser than the typical breads that don't use whole wheat flour. This is because it has a lower gluten content compared to white flour or bread flour.
Gluten is what's making a bread chewy, tall and airy.
Well guess what?
With this recipe you CAN achieve all that! Soft, airy and fluffy textured bread. You can see in the video on how wonderful the texture is.
So what are you waiting for? Grab a pack of whole wheat flour and let's start breading!
