Ingredients
Whole wheat flour : 150 g
Milk : 115 Ml
Olive oil : 10 Ml
Salt : 1/2 tsp
Sugar : 8 grams
Yeast : 3 g
Water : (as per requirement)
Some egg wash (beat a whole egg)
Seeds of your choice to sprinkle on top
Method
Step 1
Heat the milk until it's warm (not hot), if you put your finger in it, it doesn't burn, add the sugar to it & add the yeast as let it sit for mins. (If your yeast doesn't bubble within mins that means you need to get a new batch of yeast)
Step 2
Take the flour, add olive oil to it, a tsp of salt, mix it roughly, add the foamed up yeast mix & knead the dough. Don't add any extra water or milk currently, just keep kneading.
Step 3
If the dough hasn't come together yet, add some water (just dashes of it) & knead it until the dough has come together.
Step 4
If the dough feels too firm, add some more water to it and knead it, until you get a pretty soft dough that doesn't stick too much (knead for mins)
Step 5
Add some flour to the base of the container & let it rest for about an hour, once it has doubled in size after the first rise, sprinkle some flour on your workspace & knead it gently again, just barely, not deflating it too much, softly kneading for about a few minutes.
Step 6
Put it in the container that'll go in the oven & let it rise for another hour, after it's nice & fluffy, brush it with the egg wash & sprinkle the seeds.
Step 7
The egg wash gives it the lovely, rich color & glossy smooth finish. Put it in the oven for - mins at °C.
Step 8
Once done, let it cool & enjoy the amazing tasting bread! If you liked the recipe, do check out my other recipes.
