Homemade whole grain bread. Whole wheat bread in a bread machine: recipes for baking

I needed bread, and there was not enough wheat flour, but whole grain flour - a whole package, and therefore my Philips 9046 bread machine was involved in baking bread according to a new recipe.

There are no eggs and wheat flour in the recipe for bread for a bread machine made from whole grain flour, I verified all the proportions, because I relied on a previously untested recipe; I replaced milk in it with kefir, I followed the whole grain flour kolobok the way a good nanny watches a restless child. I touched it and worried whether the bread would succeed, because lately I have been haunted by failures with the sagging of the dome of the bread at the time of the start of baking.

I didn't even use program 8 "Whole Grain Bread", but used another one, namely 4 "French Bread". That is, I took a risk, but now you can safely use the proven recipe for whole grain bread for.

I chose kefir instead of milk, because I had kefir in stock, and if there was no kefir, but if there was whey, then I would definitely choose it. For all sour milk, and especially whey, has an excellent effect on the dough, and the dough made from whole grain or rye flour is completely capricious due to the low gluten content.

By the way, here, I just baked it on mode 8:

In general, every time I start baking in a bread machine according to a new recipe and I don’t know if it will work out or not, and therefore those who have the same Philips bread machine model are lucky, because they come to everything ready

I don't have the brand of flour that I always use, I don't have the brand of yeast that I always use, so there are many factors that influence the success or failure of bread baking. I describe everything in detail so that you know what to expect from whole grain bread.

What you need for Whole Wheat Bread:

300 ml of kefir (I had 2.5% fat)

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp./l baking powder

1 table/l rast. oils

350 g whole wheat flour (I had the "French thing")

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp instant yeast

How to bake whole grain bread in a Philips 9046 bread machine

Measure out 300 ml of kefir, I didn’t heat it, I took it straight from the refrigerator, and the kefir was already more than 5 days old and was thus disposed of, but in fact found a second life, giving way to the young, that is, bread

Pour kefir into a bucket of a bread machine, then vegetable oil, add baking powder and salt-sugar:

Sift whole grain flour through a sieve or a special mug with a mesh. Pour out and yeast:

This product tab is typical for the Philips bread machine, if your bread machine model provides for a different bookmark order, then follow it.

Insert the bucket where necessary and turn on mode 4 "French bread", choosing 750 g and a light crust, the time will be displayed 3.45.

The kneading will start right there, at first it may seem that the dough is tight, but with each turn of the spatula the dough will become more and more elastic, in the photo there is a bun of whole grain flour during the first kneading:

It is still quite sticky, but then its structure will change.

If you touch it, it will already be soft-hard, and your hands will actively get dirty in the dough, there is almost no gluten in the flour. But it will look smooth.

After kneading, there will be proofing, the last proofing will just allow the dough to be evenly distributed in the form. Baking starts earlier than 1 hour before the end of the program.

Ancient folk wisdom says: "Bread is the head of everything!" And indeed it is. Not a single most banal meal and not a single most luxurious feast can do without it.

Bread appeared a very long time ago at the dawn of mankind - almost 8000 years ago. Each community had its own, special way of preparing it. Initially, bread was a simple rounded cake, but over time it acquired a shape familiar to all of us. Now every nation has its own signature national bread recipe, which can be safely called the hallmark of the country's culinary side. For example, the French cannot imagine their life without a long loaf - a baguette, and the inhabitants of Armenia are crazy about lavash.

Bread can be different both in taste and color: black, gray, white, salty, spicy, sweet... It is baked from different types of flour: from wheat, oatmeal, rice, corn.

From the heat, from the heat, from the oven

A decade ago, people had no idea about home bread machines and baked bread in an ordinary oven. And our grandmothers and great-grandmothers found those times when an ordinary stone oven served as an oven. And the pastries turned out no worse, on the contrary - much tastier and better. True, more effort had to be applied.

Mix all the ingredients and knead the dough thoroughly. It should be tight and sticky. Then form a ball and transfer it to a baking sheet covered with parchment and cover with a saucepan or bowl so that the dough does not lose its rounded shape. Wrap everything with a terry towel so that the dough "breathes" and "reaches". Leave for an hour and a half.

After this time, the bread is ready for baking. If desired, it can be greased with an egg and sprinkled with sesame seeds and oat bran or seeds.

It is necessary to bake our bread in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.

Bon appetit and good health!

Homemade whole grain bread can be prepared by any housewife. It is prepared simply, without yeast, on the basis of healthy natural products, it turns out fragrant and so tasty that when fresh it can completely replace harmful confectionery from pastry.

Baker's yeast is prepared on the basis of GOST 171-81 and contains a lot of toxic substances that have nothing to do with food: technical ammonium sulfate obtained in the production of sulfur dioxide, orthophosphoric thermal acid according to GOST 10678, technical sulfuric acid according to GOST 2184, etc. (the list consists of 3 full pages). Yeast has a detrimental effect on our health, which dietitians have been writing and talking about quite a lot lately (see).

Previously, before the introduction of modern yeast into production, bread was baked for centuries on the basis of sourdough - a product obtained in the process of natural fermentation, in which the resulting natural yeast died under the influence of high temperature. Modern yeasts are thermophilic, i.e. high temperature resistant. Once in the body, they continue the fermentation process, which has detrimental effects on health.

At home, you can cook the sourdough yourself and bake healthy homemade bread based on it, there are many sourdough recipes.

If there is no time or desire to prepare a sourdough, then you can use ordinary baking powder or soda, the bread will also turn out to be tasty and healthier than any store-bought, prepared on the basis of yeast from refined flour of the highest grade.

Whole grain flour is a wholemeal flour (more about this flour -), in which all useful substances have been preserved. It was about bread made from this flour that they used to say: “Bread is the head of everything,” since in composition it was ideally suited to provide the body with all the useful substances it needs.

Modern flour of the highest grade is purified from the most valuable thing that is in the grain, and contains empty carbohydrates. It does not give the body anything for its healthy functioning and only fills the stomach with cheap calories, which then most often turn into excess weight.

How to bake bread at home

Ingredients :

milk - 1 glass,
honey - 1.5 tablespoons,
Hercules (oatmeal) - 1 cup
whole grain flour (wheat or rye) - about 2 cups,
1-2 tbsp any fatty product: sour cream, butter, melted fat, vegetable oil,
salt - about 5 tsp,
baking powder - 2 tsp,
spices as desired.

Cooking:

1. Rub honey with butter until smooth, then pour in the milk and mix everything.

2. Add oatmeal and 1 cup flour, as well as salt and baking powder (you can use soda slaked with vinegar), mix. For spices, I added cardamom.

3. Now pour in the rest of the flour in parts until the dough becomes steep so that you can make round bread out of it with your hands.

I want to note that I usually add bran and flaxseed flour to baking: they improve the beneficial properties of the product and slightly reduce its calorie content. In this recipe, I added 2 tablespoons of these products. Especially such additives are useful if ordinary premium flour is used.

4. Put the bread on a baking sheet or in a mold (I have a silicone mat), sprinkle oatmeal on top for beauty, and put in the oven at 220C for about 30 minutes, checking the readiness with a wooden stick.

5. After the bread has completely cooled down, it is ready to eat.

It turns out delicious, slightly sweet, slightly rough thanks to hercules and fragrant homemade whole grain bread without yeast from healthy wholemeal flour.
