Time flies..and how!I thought I missed baking alone the whole wheat loaf,simply I encounter I've missed the Cinnamon rolls and fourth dimension's running out for this month'sec WKtB also.What meliorate way to kick offset the bakes than amongst this proficient ol' sandwich loaf.I'd live lying if I told you I didn't detect the steps as well long.I mean,it'second subsequently all a sandwich loaf correct,wrong!

Aparna suggested a 100% Whole wheat sandwich loaf for WKtB,I was apprehensive to attempt it.But when I read through the recipe,there was an pick for adding fifty-fifty combination of whole wheat flour together with all role flour too I knew I had to try it.The recipe intrigued me,using a soaking procedure and a Biga/Sponge which is the undercover to the softness together with texture of this breadstuff.

Aparna;Original Recipe from  Peter Reinhart’s Whole Grain Breads

Ingredients: 

For The Soaker:

one 3/4 cups whole wheat flour(I used ane cup all purpose flour in addition to 3/4 loving cup whole wheat flour)

i/2 tsp salt

3/four to ane loving cup H2O at room temperature

1 tbsp vinegar (apple tree cider or manifestly) 

For The Biga/ Sponge:

ane iii/4 cups whole wheat flour(I used ane cup all use flour in addition to iii/4 loving cup whole wheat flour)

one/iv tsp minute yeast

iii/four cup milk (or a lilliputian more)

1 tbsp vinegar (apple tree cider or apparently) 

For The Final Dough:

All of the Soaker

All of the Biga/ Sponge

one one/2 tsp Vital Wheat Gluten (optional)

1/2 to 3/iv tsp table salt

1/iii cup whole wheat flour (together with a few tbsp. more if required)

two tsp instant yeast

1/eight cup rock oil (or melted butter if preferred)

ii tbsp dearest

Method: 

First make the Soaker. 
Mix all of the Soaker ingredients together in a bowl until all of the flour is hydrated.Depending on the flour,you lot mightiness demand more than than the original three/four loving cup of H2O suggested. So I would propose using iii/iv loving cup H2O in addition to and so adding a niggling at a time, until you accept the desired consistency. Your Soaker should live somewhat similar reasonably firm staff of life dough inwards consistency. Cover the bowl loosely amongst plastic wind as well as leave at room temperature for 12-24 hours. 

Now make the Biga/ Sponge. 
Mix all of the Biga/ Sponge inward a bowl and knead together well till a soft ball forms. Again y'all power call for more than the originally suggested iii/iv cup of liquid. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight. This volition go along for upward to three days.

Two hours earlier you lot plan to mix your dough for the bread, remove the Biga from the refrigerator too let it to come up to room temperature. You might detect your Biga rising a niggling during this fourth dimension. 

Divide the Biga and Soaker into minor pieces (about 12 pieces each) using a precipitous knife or scraper in addition to place them inwards the nutrient processor bowl (or stand up mixer). You can knead this past paw too, merely the dough will be tacky too a footling hard to make out. Do non live tempted to add more than flour, when it is time to, than necessary.

Add the remaining ingredients for the dough, except the one/3 cup flour) as well as knead for nigh three minutes.  Let it residual for five minutes, and then add every bit much flour equally needed (if necessary) to the dough and  knead for another three-4 minutes. Your dough should directly come away from the sides of the bowl simply yet be a petty viscid merely somewhat manageable. It’second actually of import to not add too much extra flour during this step. 

 

Place the dough inward a lightly oiled bowl in addition to permit ascent until about doubled (near i ane/ii hours). Then plow out the dough onto a lightly floured surface together with pat the dough out into a rectangle amongst a width that merely a scrap less than your loaf can. See that yous make non tear the dough. Roll it upwardly as well as shape into a loaf (come across the video, if y'all postulate it).

Place your loaf in a greased together with floured loaf tin can  too let it rising until it is but higher than your loaf can. Bake the loaf at 180C (350F) for near 40 to 45 minutes until the acme is a squeamish deep brown colour and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Let the loaf cool completely (at least for virtually two hours), earlier slicing it. Refrigerate the loaf if not consuming now.
