Ingredients
- 500 grams Granary flour
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 25 grams Butter
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Milk powder
Directions
Step 1
Start by measuring all ingredients accurately. Use a digital scale for the dry ingredients and a measuring jug for the liquids to ensure consistent results.
Step 2
Open the bread machine and carefully layer the ingredients in the manufacturer-recommended order. Typically, add the liquids (warm water and melted butter) first, followed by the dry ingredients (granary flour, sugar, milk powder, and salt). Make a small indentation in the top of the flour pile and add the yeast, ensuring it does not touch any wet ingredients.
Step 3
Place the bread pan securely into the bread machine and close the lid.
Step 4
Select the basic or whole-grain program on your bread machine. Set the crust preference (light, medium, or dark) according to your taste. For a standard loaf, the process will usually take around 3 hours.
Step 5
Press start and allow the bread machine to knead, proof, and bake the bread. Avoid opening the lid during the process, as this can disrupt the loaf's rising and baking stages.
Step 6
Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts as it will be hot. Turn the pan upside down onto a cooling rack and gently shake to release the loaf.
Step 7
Allow the granary bread to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will help the crumb to set properly and make slicing easier.
Step 8
Store the bread in a cool, dry place for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
