I think the probs due to brown sugar, amount of yeast and the wholemeal flour

Okie, I get the brown sugar part.

Pls advise the other two.

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)

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.

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:
