Basic Malted Loaf Bread Recipe

This easy recipe for a basic malted brown loaf will become your to go recipe whenever you make bread.

This easy recipe for a half and half malted brown loaf will become your to go recipe whenever you make bread.

Good bread is one of life’s greatest pleasures, I think that the Pythons got in wrong in the Life of Brian, and really it should be the bakers who are blessed.  With just a little skill, and practise, it really is very easy to make good bread at home, the trick is to use all your senses to assess the dough – sight, smell, touch, taste and the sound it makes when you knead it.  Bread is visceral, you need experience to know when it is ready for the next stage of the baking process.   Recipes are very useful but flour, yeast, proving temperature, water, style of kneading all make a huge difference to the proving and the finished loaf.   But please do not be scared of making bread – it is both satisfying and rewarding and is a skill that will stand you well for the rest of your life – the only downside being that you will start to look down at commercial bread and wonder why you ever bought or ate it.

Basic Malted Loaf

This easy recipe for a half and half malted brown loaf will become your to go recipe whenever you make bread.
Servings: 1 loaf
Author: Helen Best-Shaw
Prep Time2 hrs 30 mins
Cook Time40 mins
Total Time3 hrs 10 mins

Ingredients

  • 300 g whole meal flour
  • 300 g malted white bread flour
  • 400 g lukewarm water
  • 1 tsp dried instant yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to a mixing machine. Using the dough hook, knead at a low to medium speed for eight minutes. Or, if not using a mixing machine, mix the ingredients and then knead on the countertop for 10 minutes, until smooth and pliable.
  • Remove the mixing bowl from the machine, or place the dough in a large bowl, cover (a disposable shower cap is perfect), and place in a warm location (near a radiator) for about an hour, until the dough has doubled in size.
  • Using a spatula or scraper, get the dough out of the bowl and roll into a cylinder shape the size of your loaf tin. Butter the loaf tin, and place the dough in it.
  • Cover the tin with a plastic bag or shower cap and put it somewhere warm, but not hot, for a second raise for about 45 minutes.
  • Place in a pre-heated oven at 220°C for 40 minutes. The loaf is cooked when it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

    This looks like a good all-purpose bread – perfect for sandwiches, I bet. Although, I’d like to toast a piece and top it with some tomato and avocado :)

    This looks so much better than our old bread maker, which leaves big holes in the bottom of the loaf. I can almost smell the fresh bread…..

    Looks like a pretty cool toy! I’m new to the world of multi functional kitchen gadgets so already have a kitchen full of gizmos.
    But for those just setting up home, or with a small amount of kitchen storage space this sounds perfect to buy instead of having a cupboard full of different single use items.

    THat’s a good looking loaf, and so much easier than doing all the kneading by hand. Not as easy as a bread machine, though, but a more versatile machine!

    Having an artisan bakery avross the road from my house is not conducive to making bread anymore but I do pop on a loaf from time to time and I love the malt version you have here. I tend to use my kitchenaid for kneading. It’s easy and fast. I’ve never heard of this gadget. So versatile. I think it would be perfect for my cousin who starts uni soon. They are so lucky nowadays aren’t there? I went to uni with a frying pan, saucepan, plate, bowl and some spoons!

    That machine looks interesting! It does so many functions…I’ll bet I could find a lot of uses for it. I do like to let the bread machine do the hard kneading work for me, and this looks quite useful. Thanks for your honest comments about its many pros, and just a couple of potential cons.

    I totally agree that freshly baked bread really is the best. But I am TERRIBLE at making it and my OH needs nagging to bake us a loaf. My biggest issue is proving so I am VERY impressed that the Tefal Cuisine Companion has controlled proving temperatures! Might it just solve all my bread making problems?!

      If you are struggling do a bread course – bread varies so much according to temperature and the weather and you have to know how it feels for it to be right.
