This is an experimental loaf made with Waitrose Very Strong Canadian wholemeal flour. The mixing and the rising has been done in a Panasonic SD-255 breadmaker, the final kneading, plus rising in a 250g loaf tin and baked in the oven.

Ingredients
Method
- Place all of the ingredients in the breadmaker in the order specified by your manufacturer.
- Set to 'wholewheat' setting - this process takes 3 hours and 15 minutes.
- Remove from the breadmaker, knock back and knead throroughly.
- Place in a greased 250g loaf tin and leave in a warm place until it has doubled in size. - This may take an hour or several, depending on the heat, but but a slower, and therefore longer, rising will be of benefit.
- Bake at 200° C (400° F - gas 6) for about 35 minutes.
Variations
This can be made with fresh yeast and produced totally by hand if you wish - I just didn't have the time.
Chef's notes
I don't know if it was the flour or the dough improver (or both) that made the loaf turn out well. It is delicious and is the best wholemeal loaf I have made.
Dough improver can be obtained from Lakeland.
