Tony Claxton's Recipes Multi Grain Bread |
This recipe uses the sponge method of making a dough. This allows you to start with less yeast and let it work longer to create a better tasting bread. The flour to use is white bread flour. All of the ingredients need to be at room temperature before adding. When making the sponge, you can use an electric mixer, but it won't beat in as much air as the spoon. I've done it both ways and it seems to work just about as well either way. It is certainly much easier with the mixer. Makes 2 loaves. |
