Description
A soft, wholesome wholemeal sandwich loaf made easily in the Thermomix, perfect for family sandwiches and toast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 tsp dried yeast
- 400g strong wholemeal bread flour
- 100g strong white bread flour
- 1.5 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp light brown muscovado sugar
- 50g unsalted butter, softened
- 300ml lukewarm water
- olive oil, for greasing
- extra white bread flour, for dusting
Instructions
- Place the yeast, wholemeal bread flour, white bread flour, and salt in the mixing bowl. Mix 10 seconds/speed 5.
- Add the sugar, butter, and water. Mix 10 seconds/speed 4, then knead Dough/5 minutes.
- Grease a large bowl with olive oil. Transfer the dough to the prepared bowl, shape it into a ball, and roll it in the oil.
- Cover the bowl with greased cling film and let the dough rest until it doubles in size (1 to 2 hours).
- Lightly grease a 3lb loaf tin while the dough rests.
- After resting, knock back the dough and tip it onto a lightly floured surface.
- Shape the dough into an oval and place it in the prepared loaf tin.
- Cover the tin with greased cling film and let the dough prove until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).
- Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 near the end of the proving time.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped underneath and comes out of the tin easily.
- Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- If you use fresh yeast, crumble 15g into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- This recipe produces a soft loaf suitable for everyday family meals.
- For a traditional feel, use the dough setting on your Thermomix to develop the gluten structure.
