Equipment
1 Loaf Pan
Stand Mixer or Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour (240 grams)
- ½ cup All Purpose flour (60 grams)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Cup Warm Milk (240 ml)
- 2 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 teaspoon Yeast
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- ¼ cup All Purpose flour (30 grams Extra)
Instructions
- Grease a 8 ½ x 4 ½ x 2 ¾-inch loaf pan with oil. Set aside.
- Place wheat flour, plain flour, salt in a mixing bowl or the bowl of the stand mixer. Mix well using a spoon until it is briefly mixed. Set aside.
- Take warm milk in a bowl, sprinkle over some sugar, yeast and set aside for 5 mins till the yeast blooms.
- Once the yeast has activated, add egg and olive oil and mix well.
- Pour this over the flour mixture and place the bowl into the stand mixer and let it knead for 2 mins. After 1 min of kneading, sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of flour and let it go for another 1 min. So it is a total of 2 min of kneading in stand mixer. Don’t over mix. The dough will be little sticky.
- Once the dough comes together, remove it to a work surface, sprinkle little extra flour and knead gently for 20 times. You should get a smooth finished dough by that time. Don’t use too much flour.
- Now cover it with a kitchen towel and leave it for 10 mins.
- Take your greased loaf pan as a guide. Spread the dough gently like a rectangle and roll it carefully. Pinch the seams together and place the seam side down in the loaf pan. Cover with a tea towel and let it rise in a warm spot until it’s one inch taller than the pan, about 35 mins to 1 hour. I like to rise it inside my oven with lights on.
- Meanwhile, during the last 10 mins of rising. preheat oven to 375° F (190 degree C).
- Place the loaf pan gently into the oven and Bake for 30 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, cover the top of the loaf with a foil tent to prevent over-browning.
- Remove from oven and let it cool in the baking pan for 10 mins, gently invert it over a cooling rack and let it cool for 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, slice and serve.

Notes
- Always measure your ingredients correctly. I like to use a measuring scale for proper measurements.
- If you are using stand mixer to mix the dough, never over mix.
- You can make the dough in a regular mixing bowl using your hands.
- Never over knead the dough else you won’t get smooth finished bread loaf.
Storage Suggestions
- I like to store this in a bread bag or an air tight container at room temp upto 3 days.
- You can freeze this bread upto a month.
- Store in fridge upto a week in an air tight box.
