A standard brown bread recipe, we also have recipes for a variety of wholemeal breads, see [[:Category:Breadmaker recipes|breadmaker recipes]] and [[:Category:Bread and baking|bread and baking]].

This recipe is suitable for a standard [[Breadmaker|breadmaker]], specifically the [[Panasonic SD253]] and similar models.

Use menu 01 ''Basic bake'' (4 hours 5 minutes) on [[Panasonic SD-ZB2502 automatic breadmaker]]

It will almost certainly work for most [[Breadmakers|breadmakers]] and is worth trying if you have lost your instruction book!

The timer may be used for this recipe.

I've found that with all [[Brown flour|brown]] or [[wholemeal flour]] bread recipes, half a [[vitamin C]] tablet (ascorbic acid) crushed between two tablespoons (about 100 mg) and added to the flour, seems to prevent a heavy, poorly risen loaf. It has an effect on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutathione Glutathione (WIkipedia)] which has an affect on the the elasticity of the dough.

====Best recipe review====

''Quite heavy going''

4.3/5 

I prefer a 50/50 mix of brown and white flour as I find all brown flour makes the bread quite dense and heavy going.
