Back to Basics

This is a post about bread again. Nothing special, just a wholemeal loaf. In case you're wondering, I do not make crusty breads all the time. On some occasions, especially on days when there's little time but I still want to satisfy my 'addiction', I will go for soft loaves or buns. These are generally more straightforward to make, and don't require special preparations like using a baking stone or creating a 'steam oven'.





Made this wholemeal bread by tweaking an old recipe, adjusing the proportion of wholemeal flour so that I can get a 'decently soft' loaf and not a dense boulder. The bread turned out unexpectedly sweet, even though I've reduced the sugar. I'm guessing it's due to the milk. I had wanted a more savoury loaf to make ham or tuna sandwiches. Since this turned out sweet, I had it with jam and peanut butter.
