Soft Wholemeal Bread Loaf Recipe

- Wholemeal Bread Loaf - There is not much difference between wholemeal and regular white bread. Method is the same, only difference is the ingredients. Wholemeal bread is more hard and dry compared to white bread in terms of the texture. Hence, I added partial bread flour to the recipe so that the bread can be softer and less dry. You can do a 100% wholemeal if you desire. Since it’s a lockdown period, and some of you might experience fighting for a loaf of bread, especially wholemeal bread is so popular and highly in demand. This is the time to make one yourself and no more fight for the bread. The wholemeal flour is always available at any baking ingredient shop or supermarket. I hope you’re inspired to give this a try. Enjoy!
FOR FULL RECIPE, please visit my blog at gracioustreatz...
Ingredients:
I am using 9x5x3-inch loaf pan
200g (1 ¾ cup) wholemeal flour
125g (1 cup) bread flour
2 tsp instant dry yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
270ml (1 cup + 2 tbsp) whole milk, blood temperature
30g (2 tbsp) unsalted butter
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, add both flours, yeast, salt and sugar. Give it a quick mix. Start mixing on low speed.
2. Gradually add in the milk. Make sure the milk is luke warm, blood temperature or room temperature, whatever you called them. The dough will start to come together and pull away from the sides.
3. Stop the mix and spread the softened butter around the dough. You can also add into the bowl while it’s mixing, whichever convenient to you.
4. Increase speed to high speed and continue to mix for about 4-5 min.
Remark: In this video, I have shown a quick tutorial on how to knead the dough. Kneading and slamming the dough on the table will develop and strengthen the gluten strands which will result in softer bread. You will need to knead for at least 20 min, wholemeal is tougher to knead.
5. After 5 min of mixing, stop the mixer. Fold the dough into a ball like shaped. Grease a large bowl. Place the dough into the bowl. Grease around the dough to prevent sticking on the bowl later. Cover the bowl with cling film or a tea towel.
6. Prove the dough for about 45-60 min or until the dough size doubled. You’ll notice the size of my dough has doubled, and in fact, more than double the size.
7. Transfer the dough on the table. With a rolling pin, roll the dough for about an inch thick, to prevent trapped air bubbles. Roll up the dough like a swiss roll. Then use the rolling pin to press and roll the dough again. Place the dough into the loaf pan. Press down the dough in the pan, again that’s to prevent air bubbles. Cover the pan with a tea towel. Prove it for about 30-45 min. You’ll notice a dome under the tea towel, which is a good sign that the size has been doubled.
8. Bake in preheated oven at 180°C/355°F for 30 min.
9. Cool the bread completely before slicing.
10. The bread is ready to serve.
STORAGE TIPS:
Store in airtight container for 1-2 days in room temperature (where I am from, I have high humidity level atmosphere) You can store even up to 4 days in room temp if you room is cold and dry. Store in fridge on the 3rd day for up to 7 days. You can store the bread up to one month in the freezer.
The bread will be hardened in fridge or freezer. You can either steam the bread or lightly heat up on the pan, it will become softened again.

my bread is baking rn, i can’t resist the aroma when a fresly homemade bread is baking, it’s smells so good!! 😋
This bread is amazing super soft and moist . I been making this bread for almost a month now . One loaf 🍞 last for 1 week and it taste like store bought. Definitely others should give this a go . No fail 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hi, I made this bread today using your recipe and it turn out to be really great! So soft and fluffy. The taste also great my family really like it. Thank you for the recipe ♥️
Your approach is genuine. Most people doesn't admit of mixing GPF with whole wheat flour while making a whole wheat bread. Your video will help the new bakers to have a clear conception of the proper method and it's outcome.
Thank you.
I really appreciate that you mixed wholemeal flour with bread flour, I think that bread made with 100% wholemeal flour turn out dense, hard and less rised. It's amazing that you made such a soft bread with wholemeal! Amazing work as always, Fiona
You are absolutely right Valentina. 100% wholemeal will be a lot more dense and dry. Knowing I am going to toast the bread, I would prefer it to be soft and not too dry. I know the Italians like yourself are pro when comes to bread. Thanks for your support ❤️😘🌹😍
I totally forgot to congratulate your achievement of reaching 100k subs. Another awesome milestone. Congratulations!
@@gracioustreatz7231 Thank you so much, Fiona!! I've never thought to reach that milestone! Your friendship is always a great support to me, thank you 💞
I have done this ingredient with my bread machine. The result come out Fantastic!! Soft and Tasty if any one would like to try I really high recommend. Save my time a lot. Thank you for your recipe.
i just did this recipe, it turned out super moist, soft and a ‘lil crunchy outside layer!✨ i’ve tried other recipes for a 9x5x3 loaf pan, but those recipes always made the bread overflow in the pan😭 luckily this recipe is suited for me💗 thank u my family is so proud of me!!
i made this recipe today and used all purpose flour instead of bread flour. it was amazing!! thank you so much for the recipe, 100x better than bread from the supermarket.
Seems so simple...was a bit sceptic.
Tried it, & was pleasantly surprised. It was soft & just so tasty. Loved the aroma while baking. 👍
I’ve made a couple of loafs with just whole meal flour and fresh yeast but didn’t turn out right, thank you sharing this I’ll try this, looks so delicious and professionally done.
This looks like a really nice loaf. I am going to make this for someone who lives on their own so the storage tips will come in handy. thank you.
That's a stunning loaf. Honestly nothing can beat homemade, I get that to some extent the reason things taste better is because the effort was made by you but there also comes a point where that isn't the only reason. Some of the greatest tasting food I've eaten has been homemade, either by myself or someone else. Since having swapped to wholemeal from white some while ago I definitely have to start using my bread machine again and make my own wholemeal bread. Cheers and all the best.
I used 300g whole wheat flour and 25 g rye flour. Skipped AP flour and turned out great. Thank you for the recipe!
Made this today 🎉 lovely loaf bread ,turned out beautifully, tasted yummy 🎉😊
I tested to bake it before baking for myson next week.
A bit adjustment is required; believe thar it may from the ingredient branding difference between my country (Thailand) and yours; however I just want to tell you that it's so good; soft and delicious. And I believe that my son will like it when I bake and take it to him next week. Thank you so much for your sharing.
this recipe works. I have tried so many bread recipes, this is the only one which gives store like bread in all aspects. I mean even the professional, experienced chefs too, who have shared loaf recipes, the end product doesn't comes like that.
I did change the temperature to 360 and baked for 35 mins. I also greased my tin pan. and important thing, we have to put in the lower part of the oven, not in the top rack
I made this and it is really soft and delicious! It stays soft up to 3 days❤️
Best wholemeal bread I've ever had. Well worth the effort!
tried the recipe ! The bread is tasty and soft. I also added some nuts in. Thank you for your sharing 🥰
Wow that’s one delicious healthy bread thank you sooo much you have given me confidence will definitely bake Stay Safe God Bless
Thank you for sharing love watching your videos
I tried this bread today adding multi grains and sesame seeds. Came out perfect💕Thank you so much. I’m a staunch follower of gracious Treatz🤗
Fiona
It's too healthy and soft using whole wheat.~~
That's a great recipe.
Thank you for the useful video today. ~~
I was so into it.😊🥰❤
So nice to have you here, Boone. Your comment always enlightened me and motivating 😘🌹❤️🌸
I tried this recipe last week and the bread turned out slightly hard but still lovely..today I modified the recipe a little bit, activated the yeast with milk and sugar for 10 minutes before adding to the flour and the result was SUPER SOFT delicious bread! I also added some grains such as pumpkin sunflower & flax seeds.
Thank u so much for this recipe Fiona ❤️
You're most welcome dear. I'm glad you improvised with your own way 🤗🥰
I made it today! It really tasted so good! A thousand times better than the store bought ones!
This recipe is a keeper, thank you for sharing. Folks using a fan forced oven may want to consider reducing the temp by 20C.
Thank you so much for this recipe. It is the softest most delicious bread I’ve ever made. Super easy to make too.
Great recipe. I tried today and was successful on very 1st attempt. Thank you ❤️
Your wholemeal loaf looks amazing! 😍 Love how light and soft it looks - amazing as always. Thank you for sharing the recipe Fiona! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by Elliott ❤️🌹😍
I tried with your given recipe and it came out good. Thank you for sharing 🙏
I made this bread, it's the best bread I have ever tasted!!!

That, is a gorgeous looking loaf of bread.
Thank you so much for the good recipe. I bake for family breakfast. We all love it.
Also thanks a lot for the storage tips!
This loaf looks perfect! I just imagine the smell of a toasted slice in the morning! Excellent technique, Fiona! 😍
Yes you will feel eating healthy to have a toasted wholemeal slice in the morning with a cup of coffee 😁 thanks Alina ❤️🌹😘
@@vivian-qy3zq omg...I didnt know...thank you for telling
Made this recipe yesterday and it was perfect. Thank you
This recipe is really fantastic ! Very Soft texture and I love the whole wheat smell! I used brown sugar instead of white sugar. Thanks for sharing. I love your recipes! Always tempted to bake when I watch your videos😊
I'm so happy you made it. Thanks so much for giving me such a wonderful feedback. God bless! 💕
It's new to me that whole grain flout will not produce gluten unless you mix it with bread flour, all purpose. Thank you so much for this!
I made the bread today! Crusty outside, soft inside. My bread was a little flat (maybe because I didn't let ir proof long enough in the pan becos I was so excited lol!). Looking forward to make it again :) Thank you for the recipe!
A perfect wholemeal loaf. Baked and filmed to your usual excellent standard Fiona. I don't eat white bread so this wholemeal loaf is perfect for me 😋👍🌟
I have no doubt Pete Thomas always eat healthy, from what I see from your cooking. 😍🌹😘❤️
I tried your recipe... and it came out so well.. i had to bake it bit extra as i added oats .. but, yeah thanku so much.. its actually a ultimate recipe ☺️☺️
How many cups did you add
@@hsf8908 i took 1/2 cup of oats and 1-1/4 cup wholewheat flour.
I am quite weak doing bread. Your receipe helps me to understand the way to do it. tq
Made this with my son today. It’s in the oven at the moment. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. 🥰
I think so in this bread u use ref5ined flour
I think so this is not for loss weight purpose
Thank you for this recipe and the shaping tutorial. Just made my second one this morning as I finished the the first one yesterday and I just can't get enough 🐷
Thank you so much for providing such a great recipe. I made this yesterday and it came out fantastic!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
OMG where have u been
I can’t begin to tell u how many recipes I’ve tried
This is bar none the best ever
Thank you so very much!
Really really good recipe and it can also be vegan!!! I also make white bread loaf with this recipe with using 350-400grams of bread flour. Thank u!
Ur vdo is soooooo peaceful clean and hygiene... Just loved ur tips as well.. God bless
I made it today it was soooo delicious and the outer part is crispy thanks for ur recipe ❤️
Made this recipe today it was excellent. Delicious
I can’t make this because of lack of a mixer, but my word is this is a relaxing video! Kind of ASMRy. Thanks for not using music
i actually did this recipe without a mixer, just kneaded it longer, guess what? it worked!! 🤣
@@kimpunongbayan7988 nice!
Awesome Recipe for Wholemeal Bread. I baked this today and was Amazing ! Thankyou 👌😋
Thank you Fiona
The measurement of ingredient are convenient
Its always a pleasure to watch your videos
I like it when you measure the yeast using tsp instead of gram, because the yeast is so light it drive me crazy to get correct measurements
I tried this recipe today and it turned out so so well! Thank you for your recipe. Loved every minute of it.
hi, did yours turned out just like her? I mean the inner texture..? I tried it today, my texture was not like what's in this video. I did ferment the yeast in water rather than adding it dry into the flour.
Edit: I followed the exact recipe. changed the temp to 360F. turned out better than store bought
@@pooja120683 yes it did! so beautiful it was! Followed exactly. did not make any changes to it. All the best
@@carmelitaxavier7369, thanks for the response. I actually tried it 3 times after that, even increasing the whole wheat proportion. turned out like store one. absolutely perfect, more than perfect in taste and texture
Hello there, I just made your recipe and it turns out amazing! For the milk, I cut it to 200ml since my country is way too humid. Other than that, just got a delicious loaf bread, thank you 😁
You are smart, and you know how to adjust the milk amount based on your humidity 👏👍
Thank you for your tip 👍😉
Hi, can you please share some tips of how to adjust liquid in your dough
Only thing I would need would be some butter to go on that bread Mrs Fiona, looks delicious!! Very interesting kneading technique mam and the butter over there is really yellow, bet it's very rich!! Wonderful presentation as always my friend, have a great weekend!! Dan
Hi Dan, most of our butters here are yellowish and rich. They are good for cakes usually. Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe and God bless!
I tried your wholemeal bread for the first time today n it was nice. Will make again next time👌😋
Most recipes ask to activate yeast first in water before adding to the dough so I was worried when the yeast granules in my dough were not getting activated while kneading. However, after adding butter, they started blooming a little. My dough did not rise as much as yours the first time but after rolling it and putting it in the loaf pan, it rose just the same. It took about 36 mins to bake completely and it turned out great! :)
I made this bread and it came out much better than the recipe I was using. I really appreciate this recipe and the excellent video, and I look forward to making it often ❤️🌺
Excellent, my dear. Thanks for the feedback! 🤗😘❤️
Just found your channel Fiona. Wonderful recipes and even more wonderful presentation. So simple and straightforward. Your graphics background shines through in everything. Now all I need is your ability. Thank your for sharing and creating. Doug
Your wholemeal loaf 🍞 very soft I'm thanks for sharing this recepi 👍
Ive just found this video and love the way it’s easy to follow and looks amazing!! You’ve got yourself a new subscriber X
Gave your recipe a go and it came out perfect. Tnx for sharing
Hi Fiona. This is without doubt the best wholemeal bread video i have ever seen and believe me i have watched many. You are so multi talented, not just with your stunning cakes but now your fabulous bread recipes. So amazing to watch. Thank you as always my dear friend. have a good weekend and take care
Hi Sue. I learnt to bake bread earlier than baking cakes. In fact my very first video when I started this channel is baking bread, but I have deleted it because of poor video shoot. Bread is much easier than cakes for me. Thanks for always giving me beautiful and supportive comments ❤️ 🌹💕
@@gracioustreatz7231 That's because you are the best. Always my go to channel if i'm looking for a recipe. No one else could compare to you my friend.
Could you please share the glass jar size of your bread flour jar. I just love it. It is so ideal to put in that measuring cup to scoop through conveniently.
This recipe turned out great! Although, I did have to add 2 tbsp more flour as the dough just wasn’t coming together
U r inspiring me in a baking world....tqs to u......i have tried almost
Thank you so much. I'm so happy you love my recipes 💖💕
That looks lovely bread , it will be the next loaf I make.
Thank you so much for sharing with us.
I made it today, it's so fluffy and yummy thanks 4 sharing 💜
Thank you for this recipe. Tried it today, and it came out really well. :-) Bookmarked your recipe ❤️
That is a Spectacular Loaf of Bread Fiona, Beautiful Bake!!
Soft and tasty! First time making bread and happy it turned out well~
That bread looks absolutely delicious!
Thank u for sharing such a superb recipe 👌👍🙏
I made it yesterday and result was amazing 👌
Wonderfully baked 😍 taste was too good .Thankyou so much 🥰
Great Video, just a quick question though, your recipe says 270mls milk to 325 grams of flour, which is a hydration of 83%, which makes sense as Wholemeal needs a higher hydration than white flour, however in the video, the milk is much less than 270mls in the jug, possibly 200mls. Can you confirm which is correct? Thank you
Thanks for the posting and inspirations 👨🍳👍
I bake bread every week. I have made sandwich loafs with butter and regular AP flour. When I came across your recipe today, I knew I would have to try it out! It looks deliscious and so healthy!!
I will also subscribe to your channel and see what other goodies you have!
Blessings,
Susanne
Thank you 😘🤗
@@gracioustreatz7231 I just finished the dough and it is resting right now! So excited to see the finished bread!
@@sr.6816 was it salty ??
Made this results were great! Thank you!
Mind-blowing recipe... It's simple easy and yet awesome. Thank you so much Fiona and @Gracious Treatz for sharing this recipe 🙏 I will try to make it and will share the result. Thank you for instilling confidence in your fans.
You are most welcome 😘
Always been scared to make my own bread for decades but I will try your recipe!!
Wish me luck:)
Thanku for detailed explanation in the description box....It helped a lot.....I had made this twice in this week and turned out soft and perfect.....Really really Thanku .....Waiting for more cake recipes 😘
I made one n it turns out perfectly
Hi, tried your recipe couple of times. Bread is very soft and aromatic. In 1st proofing dough is doubling but 2nd proofing seems to be a challenge as not getting the Dome instead remains flat. Please guide.
Hi Looks good, can I substitute sugar for sweetener eg for diabetics, thanks in advance
Thank you for this lovely recipe. I’ve made this bread 3 times. My loaf tin is a lot bigger and I am wondering if I double the recipe, should I leave the bread in the oven longer? My bread came out much softer and the crust is very soft but I prefer the texture of yours. Any advice please?
my best guess is if your bread is really soft the gluten maybe didn't develop? maybe knead the dough longer? idk, i'm not very experienced with making many breads, but that makes the most sense to me.
Fantastic ! So nicely and in detail you explained mam. Thnx!
Lovely recipe, thanks
That loaf is so perfect!! So soft and light!
Thanks dear 😘🌹❤️
tried it again today. it did come out good, better than any other recipes I have followed, but not like in the video. yours look exactly like the store ones. I am guessing, do I need to adjust my oven temp like to 360 and 35 minutes? or should I place it in a lower rack in the oven? any suggestions, gracious treatz?
I made this bread tonight. It is the softest homemade bread i've ever made. Most are wonderful toasted, but this is also wonderful fresh for sandwiches. Thankyou so much. I'm a brand new subscriber from Australia, and can't wait to try out more of your recipes and to see what you make next. Thankyou so much x
I have done it. Thanks. Wonderful
I recommend putting water on top of the bread after you take it out of the oven so that the top is more soft and it will be the perfect texture!
Please tell the role of Wheat gluten flour. Shall it be added in whole wheat bread?
Hi , your all recipes are awesome
If I don't have bread flour then what do I use
Please let me know
Masha Allah ur recipes are well explained in easy terms especially noting all important steps. I am yet to try them☺️😊🤗💗keep it up!
I watched this yesterday n I have trie it today..well guess what guys 🔥🔥🔥🔥
just made this and omg its superr soft and im in love 🥰🥰😩😩 thank you for the recipe ❤️
Can I use a breadmachine
