papa's multi-cereal bread

while doing my grocery shopping at city super last week, I chanced upon a shelf packed with different types of premix flour for baking bread. out of curiosity, I picked up a pack of mult-cereal bread premix and studied the instructions on the back of the package, I was surprised to find out how easy and convenient this bread can be made and i couldn't help to get one of these. after dinner tonite, i asked papa to try out the recipe together. it was a rather straight forward bread with very basic ingredients, all you need is patience.

ingredients:

500g francine multi-cereal bread flour

275ml warm water

1 1/2 salt

2 pack of francine instant yeast

preheat the oven at 240C

simple ingredients, the bread look wonderful on the packing.....

in a large bowl, put the flour and the salt and mix well

add the yeast in the warm water before putting into the flour

knead the dough for about 10 mins by hand until the dough becomes elastic.

place the dough in a greased mixing bowl and cover with a damp tower and allow the dough to rest for about 30 mins

simply give it a few knead and shape the dough and let rest for about 40 mins, then place the bread into the oven and bake for about 35 mins.

truly wholesome and healthy bread made by papa, the smell of the bread when it was fresh out of the oven filled the whole house, I really like the look of the rustic loaf!
