Nutty Wholewheat Bread
Ingredients:
3.5 cups Snowflake Nutty Wholewheat Flour
1/4 cup all-purpose flour.
(Bread machines use a 50/50 mixture)
2 teaspoons salt
1.5 envelopes active dry yeast
2 tablespoons honey
2 to 2.25 cups lukewarm water
Method:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
In a large bowl, mix both flours and salt
In a small bowl, combine yeast and honey in half cup lukewarm water and let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes until tiny bubbles form on the surface
Pour yeast mixture and 1.5 cups more lukewarm water into the dry ingredients and blend with a wooden spoon to make a thick sticky dough. (If necessary, add up to 1/4 cup more water)
Turn mixture into a greased 5 by 9 inch loaf pan
Bake in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes; then reduce heat to 425 degrees and bake 35 to 40 minutes more, or until the top is richly browned and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Turn out onto a rack and let cool completely before slicing and you have real South African wholewheat bread.
