Wheat Bran Bread

Any time I have the chance I like to bake my own bread. No store bought bread could ever compare with the freshly baked bread right out of your oven. Love the idea that you can choose your bread ingredients, the quantity of wheat bran, the seeds and cereals you may want to add.

I usually play with my dough, I never get the same bread as I like to make variations each time. There are times when I like to add oats, or barley, or soaked flax seeds, but what is a constant is that I always like to enrich my bread with wheat bran which is rich in dietary fiber and essential fatty acids and is known to contain significant quantities of starch, protein, vitamins and dietary minerals.

This wheat bran bread is definitely one of these bread recipes that makes your meal perfect. Delicious healthy fresh bread perfect to have it for breakfast time.

    Made this today, you might want to look at the recipe…25 g of yeast would be way too much and 250 ml of water is not enough. I used 2 1/2 tsp of quick rising yeast and 1 1/4 cup of warm water. It came out great and will be making it tomorrow. Let me know what you think.

    Hi there,
    Thanks for the recipe.
    I’ve not baked bread before, can you use plain flour instead of bread flour?
    Thanks

  5. Betty sudiono Author says:

    Hi. Just found this recipe. For wheat bran, shall i use COARSE or FINE bran? Will either one have a different effect on the result?
    Please advise. Thanks

    I tweaked the recipe a bit. I used just 4 TBSPS. of wheat bran, 1 tsp. active dry yeast, 1 TBSP. sugar (or honey), and 1 1/4 cups 1% milk instead of water. I combined 1 cup flour, the wheat bran, yeast, salt, and sugar, then added the warm milk, and whisked the batter to develop the gluten. I added the remaining flour, and kneaded the dough lightly with a bench scraper, sprinkling with just enough flour to handle. I proceeded with the recipe as prescribed. It turned out great! This is a very easy recipe to make, and produces a delicious bread!
