Healthy Wholemeal Bread

I'm not really a fan of bread.  But recently I seems to like eating wholemeal bread more.  Still many bakery's wholemeal bread isn't nice!

Nowadays I like to bake my own wholemeal bread.  It's fresh, soft and nice.  Most important, I can guarantee the ingredient used are really healthy.


Here's the ingredients needed:
100g Soft Butter
60g Sugar
2 tbsp Condensed Milk
1 tsp Salt
1 Egg
15g Instant Yeast
150g Water
70ml Fresh Milk
50g Quaker Oats
350g Bread Flour
200g Whole Meal Flour

Put butter, sugar, condensed milk, fresh milk,salt, egg, yeast, water and oat in mixer bowl and use dough hook to mix it at medium speed for 5 minutes.






Add in bread flour and whole meal flour and slow beat into a smooth and elastic dough. (Optional to add raisins, nuts or sunflower seeds if like).  Cover dough and let it rest for 30 minutes till it double in size.





Divide dough into desire size (I make about 50g for round empty buns and 70g for those that I wrap with hot dogs).   After rolling dough in to desired size and shape, place it on greased baking tray for 2nd proofing to let it double in size again (DO NOT TOUCH OR MOVE THE DOUGH DURING OR AFTER 2ND PROOFING).
Make sure you leave enough space inbetween the dough.
Preheat oven after 30 minutes of 2nd proofing at 200 degree.


See after 2nd proofing, the small doughs should look nice and round.  Time to bake!!

Bake it at center rack for 10 minutes or till golden brown.





Cool your buns on wire rack before storing!
Buns taste best when it's warm....yummy....I just love eating them!!
Buns are best to be eaten within 3 days.
Good luck in baking!!
