The Simply bake your own wholemeal bread to bake yourself from just 5 ingredients (if we count water as an ingredient 😁) and without kneading. Bread recipe for dummies, hearty, healthy, nutritious and delicious! Baking bread is really fun with this bread recipe. So I love making my own whole wheat bread and when it’s as easy as this recipe, then there’s no reason not to do it. A simple dough where the ingredients are just stirred together and done. No kneading necessary.
No kneading necessary
Really, the kneading is absent in this recipe. You simply toss whole wheat flour, dry yeast, and half a teaspoon of salt in a mixing bowl. Then whisk some maple syrup with warm water and mix the wet ingredients into a rather sticky dough. Now pour the dough into a greased loaf tin, let it rise for 20 to 40 minutes, bake and you’re done!
I don’t think it could be easier, right?
tips
- You should always weigh the flour very accurately so that the result is correct later
- Packets of dry yeast weigh between 7 and 10 grams. Read the supplement, because one pack is usually intended for 500 g of flour, which is quite enough for us.
- You can swap out the maple syrup as you like. For example with agave nectar, rice syrup, sugar beet syrup etc.
- After about 20 minutes, the dough can have risen as high as in my picture. If not, add a few more minutes. For me it was 40 minutes. The height after rising is then also the height at which the bread later comes out of the oven.
