A Huge Loaf of Whole Wheat Bread ( No Maida )

 Many of you have been sending wishes through emails, comments, facebook and everything..And some of my lovely co-bloggers have even created a bridal shower for me..I will talk about that in my next post..But right off now, I am so happy that I have so many caring and lovable friends around me to think about me.. I am really really a blessed girl. Thank you so much for that guys..

 

Now coming to the recipe of the day. It is a healthy one which many of you must have never thought of making this at home..Yes it is a very very healthy whole wheat bread with no addition of maida (all purpose flour) to it. You might think that now we can find so many wheat breads out in the markets, why would spend time making it at home. But let me tell you a secret..The  bread which you find in store have some maida added to it. I am not talking about the specially made bread which you find in big supermarkets. But most of them have maida added to it. So if you want a healthier option and need a good whole wheat bread them try this out..
A slice of bread with some pineapple jam spread on top

I made a very huge loaf of bread which was enough for our whole family for a week. We have one slice of bread which we toast in a toaster and spread some jams or any toppings and have it..Since it is a huge slice, only one is enough for us and it makes us pretty full..I would suggest eating this for breakfast along with some fruits and a glass of milk..I am sure that it is a healthy option than having regular white bread..I hope you will try this out and tell me how It turned out..Eat Healthy and Be Healthy.

Ingrediants:

Whole Wheat Flour – 6 cups / 720 gms + more for kneading
Yeast – 2 tblspn
Salt to taste
Sugar – 2 tblspn
Warm Water- 500 ml + as needed
Oats – 3 tblspn for sprinkling on top
Olive Oil – 3 tblspn
Method:
Take some warm water in a bowl and add in yeast in that. Mix well and allow it to rise for 5 mins.
Take a large mixing bowl and add the remaining water in it. Add sugar, salt and allow it to dissolve.
Pour in the yeast water in that and mix well.
Slowly add in the flour and keep mixing till it comes  together. It will be sticky.
Drizzle 2 tblspn of oil over it and mix well.
Transfer it to a well oiled bowl and cover with a cloth. Allow it to rise for 1 hour.
Now tip this mixture to a well floured surface and start kneading. Knead it for 10 mins add more flour if needed.
When the dough gets smooth and sprinky, shape it in the form of the loaf pan and drop it in a well oiled loaf pan.
Cover it and let it rise for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F.
Take the rised bread and brush it with some milk or water and sprinkle some oats on top.
Bake this in the oven for 50-60 mins or till the bread is nice golden and cooked.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool down completely before inverting to a cooling rack.
Slice and Serve.
Notes:
1.You can use two medium size loaf pan to bake this bread. I used my huge loaf pan for this. If you are using small loaf pan, the baking time will vary.
2.If you are in different places the rising time will change as per the temperature of the place.
3. Once cooled Transfer this bread to a refrigerator either in a air tight container or wrap it tightly with foil or cling wrap and use it accordingly.
Pictorial:
Take all your ingrediants
Dissolve some yeast in warm water
Add sugar, salt to warm water and mix well
add the yeast water in this
add the flour and mix well
form into a sticky dough
drizzle some oil and mix well
Transfer to a well oiled container. Cover and allow it to rise
all rised up
Tip into a well floured working surface
knead well to form a smooth dough
Oil a loaf pan and shape the dough like that
Drop the dough in
I have a lid for my loaf pan..You can use a cloth to cover and allow it to rise again.
look how it has risen
Brush with some milk and sprinkle oats on top
Bake till golden brown
Remove from the pan and allow it to cool down.
Serve

    what a healthy recpie for bread. you have encouraged me to make this but i have some doubts which i hope you will clear it ,firstly on which rack of the oven should it be baked , secondly-while baking both the elements of the oven should be on as i have read in other blogs that for baking cakes, pizzas or cookies only bottom element /coil should be on.
    i have a request that when you give recpeis for baking ,grilling ,please mention about these little things as things matters a lot for a new baker like me,
    thanks and hope for the earliest reply

    Hi Aarthi,
    Just wanted to check if I can mix milk along with warm water so that I get a softer version of the bread?? I tried once yesterday but I tried with minimum quantity. I turned too hard!! So what is the mistake? Can I bake at little lesser temperature or for lesser time or what is the mistake? I baked 1 cup of flour for 25 mins. using ur instructions.. Thanks for your reply.

    Your recipe looked so good, I was tempted to bake my first loaf. Took the same quantity of ingredients – I thought it rose well the first hour, then kneaded it, split it across 2 loaf tins, but the second hr it didn't rise as much a your picture showed.
    The end result was a good-looking and tasty loaf, but very dense. not soft enough, not light.
    I realised later when I read the comments that I should not have put it on the lower rack, but I don't think that was the only reason.
    1. needs more yeast?
    2. should have let it wait longer?
    3. did we knead too much (or too little)?
    don't want to give up, so please help.
    Thanks very much.

    @Meeraif your bread didn rise properly the second time, then your bread will be dense. I think you must have left your dough to rise a longer time for the first rise, so the yeast must have done all its job.

    Next time, leave the dough to rise less time, then shape into loaf and leave that to rise for a longer time till it is doubled in size. This way the bread will be little airier.

    And also since this is made with 100% wheat flour, the bread wont be so soft. It will be little on the denser side, but so healthy and tasty

    Hi aarthi ure recipe is really simple but my problem is that the yeast doesn't froth and the batter doesn't rise at all

    @AnonymousIt is because your yeast is not activated. You have to add yeast to warm water with sugar. if you add it to very cold water, it wont activate. If you add it to very hot water then it will kill the yeast, so give it another shot..

    Your yeast will get foamy once it is activated, then only u have to add it to flour. If your yeats is not foamy then dont use it.

    Hey Aarthi,
    I tried this and i dont know what went wrong 🙁
    Batter has raised and looked nice, but after baking, crust was thick and top was brown and nice.SO what could be the problem?
    Also it tasted like too thick or a big fat roti.. :'(
    Is it because i used a silicone loaf pan?
    or I dont have rack system in my oven, so i just kept it on plate and baked it..(so may be no heat to bottom of the pan??), but i preheated the oven as instructed..

    I am very much interested in baking these stuff, but this bread just knocked out all my excitement.Ofcourse first time i baked a bread.
    DInt knew baking bread also needs a technique and skill ^_^

    @AnonymousYes heat should be evenly given for breads..so it bakes from bottom and top as well.

    Hi aarthi,

    I have tried few of ur recipes .they came out well.

    My oven has only 2 racks .can u please tell me in which rack to bake.thanks in advance.

    If we are using instant yeast do we need to still use salt , sugar & warm water for kneading the dough.

    We can use normal water if using instant yeast.

    Hi Aarthi, Thanks a lot for the wonderful recipe. This was my first attempt at baking, however, it didn't turn out quite well and I'm not able to figure out what went wrong. I tried the same recipe replacing the wheat flour with Aashirvad mutli grain flour. However, i couldn't get a proper rise. In fact, even the yeast was not frothing as much as shown in the post. Is it because of bad yeast? Or does multi grain flour take time to rise? Also, I'm unable to figure out what i'm doing wrong during baking. I pre-heat the oven and turn it to bake mode and the first loaf got burnt as I was not paying proper attention. However, the inside was kind of okay. The second loaf, I waited only till the top was brown and took it out, but this time, the inside wasn't fully baked. Also, the bottom was burnt 🙁 I used til oil to grease the pan and I'm using a silicone pan. Could you please tell me what might be going wrong?

    @Anonymousi think ur yeast is not good..try with a new pack..And the loaf has to be baked till the mentioned time. if it is getting too much colour on top, then u can cover the top with some foil and bake
