Yay!! Cheese bread experiment turns out better than expected :rahrah:


I made slight changes to the original recipe:

- changed 1/2 cup water to 2/3 cup water
- changed 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese to 1/2 cup (but still not as cheesy as I wd like it but at least better than the original recipe. May consider going to 1 cup shredded cheese for subsequent tries)

Under original recipe, it was more rock bun - very heavy and dense. But with modifications, the bread is softer and fluffier. :dancing:

Ok, never mind. I will strive until I reach almost perfection

Wholemeal bread can be rather tricky to achieve. U are a brave soul to attempt the more difficult bread on virgin attempt. :salute:

Still, as long as it tastes good. Guess, we need to trial and error before achieving \"perfection\"

Cannot give up. Die die must try :imconstipated:

How much yeast did you use? And do you use all 100% wholemeal flour? Or you mix with bread flour? (Hehehe, too lazy to look for the Z book)

b2b3m4:

Autumnbronze, are u using wholewheat bread flour or wholewheat bread? If u are using the latter, there isn't enough gluten to support the structure, so it is difficult to rise. Alternatively u can use half bread flour, half wholewheat flour.
The sugar is the least likely to be the problem.

peterch,

I used 1tsp of yeast.

I used 100% wholemeal flour.

b2b3m4,

I used 100% wholemeal flour as per instructed.

Ok, your tip makes sense. I will try using the half half method next.


:thankyou: for your help. Appreciate it.

:thankyou: sista :love: :love:

Actually I just went ahead with the recipe not knowing that wholemeal bread would be difficult to bake, though it was mentioned by Happy Mama earlier.

Helper said it tasted nice and told me \"no prob mam, put in the toaster oven and the moist part will be cooked\" :love:

Actually I am not too perturbed lah ... I expected some hitches. But it takes an experienced baker to BSI the whole process when things go wrong. I would never have guessed that I would have to combine wholemeal with bread flour to produce a better loaf :!:

Think I shd do some reading up on the different textures of bread :shock:

So glad I have kakis here to turn to for advise ..... :love: :love:
