Recipe from the book PaulHollywood 'How to bake'. My second baking challange is Wholemeal Tin Bread. I noticed the difference between two doughs as wholemeal one is much tougher and easier to work with
I wanted to bake homemade wholemeal pitta bread after watching Stavros Flatley make some in the programme ‘Sugar Free Farm’ so I looked at various recipes online and compared them
Once you get on to the recipes, there are lots of lovely things to choose from, including wholemeal loaf, ciabatta, soda bread, focaccia, chapatis, Cheddar and apple bread, baklava, fruit loaf, fresh croissants, scones, classic Victoria sponge, lemon drizzle cake, buttery shortbread and triple layer chocolate cake
Again the bread recipe is based on PaulHollywood’s focaccia recipe, with the quantities halved. Last weekend I wanted to make some homemade bread to enjoy for lunch
One day it means a simple wholemeal loaf, but before you know it, it means salt-crusted, pillow-soft focaccias, multigrains and an obsessive interest in spelt, chestnut and other fancy flours
When I was researching how to make pitta breads I found and read many recipes from all over the place, but I liked the sound of PaulHollywood’s recipe the most and loosely based my own recipe on his one
PaulHollywood I am not. The taste, and smell of home-made bread is second to none. These seeds are often sprinkled on naan breads before baking, and, as I have since discovered (after making it first) used in Middle Eastern bread dough
I really want to try PaulHollywood’s eight strand plaited loaf but get baffled every time I read the braiding instructions so I stuck with the five for now, which turned out to be surprisingly really easy
I'm loving PaulHollywood book 'How to Bake' and had a go at his Stilton and Pecan Twist. I have slightly altered it though - just don't tell him 😆I decided it would be even better with a mix of white and wholemeal flour
PaulHollywood adds grated apple to the starter to get it going quickly see his method here. Others recommend using wholemeal flour as there are more natural yeasts on the outer bran of the wheat, although I have always found it to work perfectly fine to use just white flour
I also had my first attempt at Naan Bread, based on a recipe by PaulHollywood. They had a wholemeal pastry case and a creamy sauce made using soya milk and nutritional yeast to make it thick and tasty
