Oatmeal Bread | Wheat Oats Bread

          Oatmeal bread-one more bake made without any bread machine.Off late i am baking at least once a week.This has become my hobby, i tried wheat bread with slight variation adding oats flour to it.Most people add bread flour instead of all purpose flour that too in high quantity.It's not the point in making a healthy bread at home (at least to me).So i used less all purpose flour.It came out really good ,equally good compared to store bought bread.

HomeMade Dinner Rolls|Pav Recipe

 Homemade dinner rolls or pavs -is a bread used to make Indian street food vada pav.
         Lately, I am into baking bread ..My long time dream..I failed many attempts of wholewheat bread baking.But succeeded somehow my oven makes me think twice before I start the bread preparation.
     My little one was asking me for burgers, so I am determined to do it. I tried whole wheat burger buns, but not satisfied with the texture of it.This time, I thought I would do half by half ( half whole wheat and half all purpose).
      Pavs turned out to super soft and delicious without eggs and with 50 % goodness of wholewheat..I baked the buns in a circular plate that's why they are circular.If you use rectangle or square plate for baking, pav buns will be rectangle.
     The secret of making the soft and perfect bun is Knead until elastic, make them rest and rise.Bake them until brown ..Inspired from Vegrecipes.

WholeWheatBread/SoftestWheatBread

            Bread has become the easy and healthy breakfast /Snack .When you are not in the mood to cook some elaborate meal bread comes in handy.Making bread at home i have never imagined it .One fine day i wanted to  try bread recipe that too from WholeWheat flour ,I don't know A or Z in bread baking .I found abundant of recipes but none of them is my choice (either they use egg or they has the long process or i may not have the ingredient they mentioned ),i tried a few of them and it turned out to be a super flop .I saw this recipe at veg recipes and i am happy that i found the right recipe for me .I did little variations in resting time,yeast amount and oven temperature after a few tries .NOW got the perfect whole wheat bread .
           Don't think your bread will be as soft as you get in bakery /shops.For that you need to add little wheatgerm or all purpose flour.Also sometimes it may fall apart.
            Its such a pleasure to make our own breads , somehow needs a little patience and  determination.You can see a very long note at the end ,that tell the stories of my failure .Now to Baking ...

Oats banana muffins(whole wheat flour)
Granola bars(no bake)

Preparation time:10 minutes apart from (2 hours +1 hour resting)
cooking time :45-55 minutes
yields :1 loaf (10-12 pieces)
Recipe source:vegrecipesofindia(Altered)

Ingredients:

• 3 cups wheat flour
• 1 1/2 tsp active yeast
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp butter/ghee
• 2 tbsp sour curd/yogurt
• 1 3/4 cups water

Method:

• Combine wheat flour , yeast together .

• Add salt ,sugar and butter as well

• Add Curd/Yogurt and knead it.

• Add (cold) water little by little and combine well  together  .
• mix them well for 3-5 minutes to get the gluten.
• The dough should be sticky and little elastic.

•  Keep it covered and allow it to rise for 2 hours 

               (Before first rise|After the first rise pic 2)

• After 2 hours  slightly punch the dough and fold it in to a roll and seal the edges .

(After punching|Make a fold)

• Keep it in the loaf pan/bread pan and keep it covered for another hour or 2(depends upon the temperature of your place)

(Keep in loaf/bread pan|After second rise)

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees for 10 min.
• Keep the double raised dough and bake it for 40 minutes .
• After its done tap the bottom to see if its done .
• Cool it down (on a wire rack) and slice them and store in a airtight container until further use .

Note:

• To see whether the bread is done :

1. You can insert a thermometer and see the inside temperature is around 200 degrees .
2. You can take out the bread and flip it and tap the bottom ,while tapping if you get a dup sound (means the inside is hollow)its ready to take out of the oven.
3. You can see the bread pull outwards and the upper part of the bread is not soft .
4. The bread should be little browned as well while baking.

Other notes:

• Knead the bread very well until it forms gluten to avoid any failures .

• Temperature of baking and texture of the bread will vary depending upon the oven temperature and flour quality used.
• You can add oil instead of butter( i haven't tried it yet,but sure it wont affect the texture of the bread)
• You can use vinegar instead of curd/yogurt.
• If you are in colder country and trying this recipe, to make the bread soft and the yeast do its work put it in oven with lid and lights on (don't turn on the oven only the lights) so the dough will rise quickly with the temperature of the lights .
• Keep the Proofed dough also in heated oven  if you are baking bread in a coldest day .
• Allow the bread to cool at least for an hour before you cut it, because the bread gets cooked when it cools down (like our pressure cooker we don't take off the foods before the pressure reduces).
• If you don't have a wire rack you can cool the bread by keeping it in vessels crossed(by doing this way the bottom will not become soft).
• If you are living in a warm country you can keep the dough rest for little less time mentioned here .
• You can store the bread in freezer for 2-3 weeks (in an airtight container) .Slice them before hand and store .Reheat it in tava or microwave for 15 -20 seconds
• If you are storing in fridge it may last up to a week.Reheat in tava with or without butter .
