Another Nice Brown Loaf

I make the same few breads a lot (focaccia, baking powder biscuits, white bread), so I wanted to vary it. This is what I created.

 

It can also be made into individual rolls.

 

Ingredients:

450 g strong bread flour (I used 270 g white and the rest wholemeal)

7 g dried yeast

1 tsp salt

2 tsp sugar or honey

2 tbsp olive oil

2 eggs (only one if not using seeds or oats)

250 – 300 ml liquid (I used 200 ml rice milk and 50 ml water)

seeds or oats, if desired

 

Instructions:

1. Mix the flour, yeast, salt, sugar, and olive oil together.

2. Blend in one egg and slowly add the liquid, a bit at a time. Knead for 10 minutes or mix in a food processor for 5 minutes.

3. Set in a lightly oiled bowl and leave to rise for an hour or so, until doubled in size.

4. Shape into a loaf or rolls and leave to rise another 30-60 minutes.

5. Brush with the second egg and sprinkle with seeds or oats. You can skip this skip, if you want.

6. Bake at 180 C for 15-25 minutes.
