Easy wholemeal bread Recipe

Method

• 1. FOR THE DOUGH:

  Pre-heat the oven to 230'C.
  
  Sieve the flour, salt, and the sugar. Mix the flour mix with the yeast, and place in a large bowl. Create a well in the centre.
  
  Heat the water up until tepid and slowly pour into the flour mix. Begin mixing with a spoon, as the mix starts to come together begin using your hands. When the dough forms a ball shape, transfer onto a floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until it becomes a smooth mixture.
  
  Clean and oil the mixing bowl and place the dough back into the bowl and cover with cling film. Leave it to prove in a warm place until it doubles in size.
  
  After it has doubled in size, put the dough back onto a floured surface and knead for a further minute. Create a circle with the dough.
  Form a smooth ball by tucking the dough into the centre of the circle. Turn it over and you should have a ball shape. Place the dough into a large, deep and round baking tin. Leave to prove once more in a warm place for 30 minutes.
