How to cook Whole grain bread

Step 1

Dissolve the yeast in warm water and add ½ spoon of sugar. Put the yeast in a warm place for 20-30 minutes.

Step 2

Mix the ready yeast with flour, add sugar and salt. Gently knead the dough, adding water evenly, without forming lumps.

Step 3

Let the finished dough sit and grow in a warm place. It will increase in size by 2-3 times. Give the finished dough the desired shape, put it on a baking sheet, and line it with parchment paper in advance. Grease the bread with a small amount of vegetable oil and make cuts on top, this will help get rid of the formation of excess carbon dioxide.

Step 4

Bake the bread in the oven at 200℃ for 30 minutes. Cool the finished bread, cut into slices and place on a serving plate at the dinner table. Enjoy!

Whole grain bread - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use honey instead of sugar in this whole grain bread recipe?

Yes, you can substitute honey for sugar. Use an equal amount of honey, but reduce the water slightly to balance the moisture.

How should I store whole grain bread to keep it fresh longer?

Store the bread in an airtight container or wrapped in a clean cloth at room temperature for 2-3 days. For longer storage, freeze slices in a sealed bag.

Can I make this bread gluten-free?

Yes, replace the whole wheat flour with a gluten-free blend. Add ½ tsp xanthan gum if your mix doesn’t include it for better texture.

Why do I need to make cuts on top of the bread before baking?

The cuts prevent uneven rising and allow trapped carbon dioxide to escape, ensuring a uniform texture and avoiding cracks.

Can I bake this bread in a bread machine instead of the oven?

Yes, use the dough setting for mixing and kneading, then switch to the bake setting. Adjust timing based on your machine’s instructions.

How do I know when the bread is fully baked?

Tap the bottom—if it sounds hollow, it’s done. Alternatively, an internal temperature of 190–200°F (88–93°C) indicates it’s ready.

Can I add seeds or nuts to this recipe?

Absolutely! Stir in ¼ cup of sunflower seeds, oats, or chopped nuts during Step 2 for extra crunch and nutrition.

Is this bread suitable for vegans?

Yes, this recipe is vegan-friendly as it contains no animal products. Just ensure your sugar is vegan (some brands process it with bone char).

Can I halve the recipe for a smaller loaf?

Yes, reduce all ingredients by half and bake for 20–25 minutes. Keep an eye on it, as smaller loaves may cook faster.
