Provided by ChefChic

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 2h45m

Yield 2 loaves, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 1/4 cups warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 1/2 cups hard whole wheat flour
1/3 cup natural bran
1/3 cup barley flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup wheat germ
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine sugar and water. Sprinkle the yeast into water while stirring. Let stand approximately 5 minutes, or until foamy.
  • In a large bowl, whisk 2 cups of whole wheat flour with bran, barley flour, oats, wheat germ, and salt. Create indent in the middle of mixture and pour in the yeast liquid. Stir to slowly incorporate ingredients to form dough; add more wheat flour if necessary.
  • Knead dough on lightly floured surface for 10 to 15 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Coat a bowl with nonstick cooking spray and place the dough inside. Roll dough in spray to cover. Next, cover dough with a clean dish towel and allow to rise for 45 minutes. Dough should double in volume.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or dust with cornmeal.
  • Punch the dough down and return it to the floured surface. Divide into two pieces, then roll each piece into a loaf about 12 inches long, tapering each end. Place loaves onto prepared baking sheet (2 12-inch bread pans can work, as well) and cover again with dish towel.
  • Dough should rise for another 45-60 minutes, doubling in size once again. After rising, the dough should remain dented when poked instead of springing back.
  • Bake at 425 Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, until loaves sound hollow when tapped. Cool on wire racks, slice and serve!
  • 1 serving is 1/12 of a loaf.

HIGH FIBRE FLOURLESS BREAD LOAF



High Fibre Flourless Bread Loaf image

Low carbohydrate and high fibre bread.

Provided by principal732

Time 45m

Yield Makes 2 loaves.

Number Of Ingredients 10

154g Oat Bran
67g Wheat Bran
46g Wheat Germ
189g Dried Skimmed Milk Powder
32g Dried Yeast
2 tbs of 0% Fat Plain Yoghurt
8 tbs of 0% Fromage Frais
6 Large Free Range Eggs
8/10 tbs of warm water
Sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • In a bowl mix together the yeast, warm water and Fromage Frais and whisk well. Leave to rest and allow the yeast to become active.
  • Mix all the other ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Add active yeast mixture to the other ingredients and whisk well.
  • Divide the mixture equally between two silicone loaf trays and sprinkle with the sesame seeds (optional). Bake in a hot oven (200C Fan Oven) for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 180C and cook for a further 20 minutes. Leave to cool slightly before removing and placing on a wire cooling rack.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bran: Use a combination of wheat bran and oat bran for a more flavorful and nutritious bread.
  • Soak the bran: Soaking the bran in hot water before adding it to the dough helps to soften it and make it easier to incorporate.
  • Use a sturdy mixer: The dough for bran bread is thick and sticky, so it's important to use a mixer that can handle the job.
  • Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough for at least 10 minutes helps to develop the gluten and make the bread more chewy.
  • Let the dough rise slowly: A slow rise gives the dough time to develop its full flavor and texture.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature: A high temperature helps to create a crisp crust and a fluffy interior.
  • Let the bread cool completely: Letting the bread cool completely before slicing helps to prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Bran bread is a delicious and nutritious bread that is easy to make at home. With a few simple tips, you can make a bran bread that is both flavorful and healthy. So next time you're looking for a healthy bread option, give bran bread a try.
