I love making breads at home. I think those homemade breads taste way better than the store bought ones. And also you can keep track of the ingredients that goes into that. The advantage of homemade bread is, it is so cheap to make at home. With the money you buy a packet of bread at shop, you can make a bunch of loafs at home.
I love experimenting with breads, so far i have made a pure whole wheat bread and white bread. I always wanted to make a multi grain bread, so i experimented couple weeks back and it was really good.
I added oats, ragi flour and wheat flour in this. I will surely make a more healthy version by adding lots of grains in the bread soon. I hope you will love this one and let me know what you think.

Nice recipe. I'm the only taker for bread.
Can I reduce the quantity to half. That is
All purpose to 1/2 cup
Whole wheat 1 cup
Ragi 1/2 cup
Oats 1/2 cup
How much yeast will it require and also how long should I need to bake?
Aarthi
@give me strength to fight Yes u can, use 1 tsp of yeast and give a little long time to rise. The baking time will be like 30 to 35 mins
If you wish you make it into small buns and bake it. The baking time will be 15 to 20 mins

hello,
Thnk you so much or the recipie.it turned out good.But one small thing,it was a bit crumbly..can you tell me what i would have done wrong?Thanks.And how many days does it stay good?
Aarthi
@namratha jeyachandranleave it for a day or let it cool for few hours before slicing. you have to knead the dough well till smooth, else it will be crumbly

Hi Aarthi, I am going to use instant yeast (instead of dry active yeast in your recipe). What is the quantity of instant yeast required for this recipe? Is there any change in rising time also? Thanks
Aarthi

Richa

Hello Aarthi,
I love your recipes and love the step by step instructions.
For this recipe I used whole wheat flour in place of 'All purpose flour - 3/4 cup' as I wanted to avoid the maida. However the taste didn't come out too well for my bread. Also initially it didn't rise to the level as you have shown (maybe because we have winters here) so I left it over night.
Can you guide please how I can get proper taste with using whole wheat flour only.
Thank you so much.
Jas

Hi Aarthi. Can I replace the quick cooking oats with oats atta in the same proportion?
Isha
Please give the exact quantity of water to be used for kneading
Aarthi
You will be needing around 1.5 cups of water. add more if the flour is dry. Since each brand flour is different it will absorb water on different level.
