Wholemeal Yogurt Bread
I'm a die hard fan of wholemeal loaves unlike my children, they hate it so much that I wonder how that happened!
Anyway here's one soft and fluffy loaf with yogurt... I suppose the yogurt makes it soft and there's a tinge of sourness as well.
260g bread flour
115g wholemeal flour
15g unsalted butter
30g caster sugar
6g salt
100ml natural plain yogurt
150ml water
5g instant yeast
some rolled oats to sprinkle on top
I'm using my bread maker to knead the dough.
Place water, yogurt sugar, salt, butter, bread flour and wholemeal flour in the pan of the bread machine. Add the yeast at the opposite corner of the salt.
Select the Dough function of the bread machine and press start. Total kneading time is 30 mins.
Dust dough with flour, shape into a smooth round dough. Place dough in a lightly greased mixing bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let proof for about 1 hour, or until double in bulk.
Remove the dough from the bowl and give a few light kneading to press out the gas in the dough. Dust the dough with some flour if it feels sticky. Divide the dough onto three balls. Smooth into round and leave it to rest for about 10 mins.
Roll out the balls into a rectangular shape. Roll up the dough like a Swiss roll to form a log.
Pinch and seal the seams tightly. Place in a greased 9" loaf pan. Cover with damp cloth or cling wrap and leave dough to proof for the second time for about 40mins, or until double in size. Brush the top with water and sprinkle rolled oats all over.
Bake in pre-heated oven at 190 deg C for 25 ~30 mins or until golden brown. Remove from oven and transfer to wire track to let cool.
