Preparation steps

Section: Easy Grain Bread Dough (for rolls or a large loaf)

Mix flour and salt in a large bowl, then stir in sugar and yeast.
Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the warm milk, beaten egg, olive oil and enough water to make a soft, moist dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with oiled cling film.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size.
If you want to bake rolls, divide the dough into 12 pieces and shape them into rolls.
Lightly flour three baking sheets and place the rolls on them.
Cover the rolls loosely with oiled plastic wrap and place in a warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6.
Brush the rolls with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame and poppy seeds.
Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, until deep golden brown and well risen.
To make a flowerpot loaf, let the dough rise until doubled in size, about an hour.
Soak one large or eight small terracotta flower pots in cold water for about 30 minutes.
Dry the flower pots thoroughly, then coat the inside with oil and place parchment paper on top.
Shape the dough into a smooth round with a slightly pointed shape at one end to fill the pot halfway.
Let the dough stand until it has doubled in volume.
Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan 170°C/gas 5.
Brush the top of the loaf with beaten egg, sprinkle with poppy seeds or sesame seeds and bake for 45-50 minutes (15-20 minutes for small loaves) until golden brown.
Let the bread rest for 5-10 minutes, then remove it from the pot and let it cool on a wire rack.

Health Benefits of Plain Grain Bread Dough

When it comes to baking your own bread, there’s nothing better than the smell of freshly baked granary bread. Simple grain bread dough, whether for rolls or a large loaf, not only offers delicious taste but also comes with a number of health benefits. This article will explore some of the key health benefits associated with the ingredients used in this recipe.

Strong white flour

The use of strong white flour in grain bread dough provides a significant amount of carbohydrates, which are the body’s main source of energy. It also contains some important vitamins and minerals such as iron, selenium and B vitamins, which help support various body functions including metabolism and energy production.

Malted Granary Bread Flour

The addition of malted grain bread flour gives the dough a wonderfully nutty flavor and delicious texture. This type of flour is made from a combination of whole wheat flour and malt grains. Compared to normal white flour, it offers more fiber, supports digestion and promotes a healthy intestine. In addition, the presence of fiber can help control weight, control blood sugar levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers.

Salt and powdered sugar

While salt and powdered sugar are used in small amounts to improve the taste and texture of bread dough, it is important to note that excessive intake of these ingredients can have negative health effects. It is therefore important to enjoy grain bread in moderation and eat a balanced diet.

Easy to mix yeast

Easy-to-mix yeast, a common ingredient in bread recipes, makes dough rise easier and gives bread its airy texture. Yeast is a rich source of B vitamins, particularly B6, which plays a key role in maintaining brain health, supporting the nervous system and supporting the body’s metabolism.

Warm milk, egg and olive oil

The addition of warm milk, beaten egg, and olive oil contributes to the moisture, tenderness, and richness of the grain bread dough. These ingredients also provide important nutrients such as protein, calcium and healthy fats. Calcium helps strengthen bones and teeth, while protein is crucial for muscle repair and growth. Healthy fats from olive oil have a positive effect on heart health and make you feel full.

Warm water

Finally, all ingredients are mixed with warm water to form a kneadable dough. Adequate hydration is essential for overall health, and consuming warm water can aid digestion, boost metabolism, and improve blood circulation.

By using this basic grain bread dough recipe, you can not only enjoy the pleasure of baking your own fresh bread, but you can also benefit from the various health-promoting properties of its ingredients.
