Materials required:
Two cups of whole wheat flour.
1 cup flour (common or high gluten flour)
1.5 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons of active dry yeast
1.25 cups of warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
Production steps:
1, prepare dough:
In a large bowl, mix warm water, sugar and yeast, stir well, and then let it stand for 5- 10 minutes until the yeast begins to foam.
Add whole wheat flour, flour, salt and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until it becomes a sticky dough.
2. Knead:
Pour the dough on a lightly floured workbench and start kneading. The purpose of kneading dough is to activate gluten in dough and make it soft and elastic. It takes about 10- 15 minutes to knead the dough.
3. Fermentation:
Put the kneaded dough back into the bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and put it in a warm place to ferment for 1-2 hours, or ferment to twice its size.
4. Forming and secondary fermentation:
Take out the fermented dough and gently exhaust it. Then shape it into the bread shape you want, which can be long, round or other shapes.
Put the dough into a baking pan coated with olive oil, cover it with a wet cloth again, and ferment in a warm place for 30-45 minutes.
5, oven preheating:
When the bread is finally fermented, preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit).
6. Baking:
Put the fermented bread into the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the bread surface is golden yellow and makes a hollow sound.
7, cooling:
After baking, take the bread out of the oven and put it on the grill to cool completely.
