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.

Course: Bread
Cuisine: Baking
Keyword: Basic Malted Loaf, malted loaf
Servings: 1 loaf
Calories: 2399 kcal
Author: Helen Best-Shaw
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
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
  5. 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.

    I was just thinking about making homemade bread this morning! Brings back good memories when I smell a loaf baking in the oven! I have not tried a malted loaf before, very interesting!

      SO often Ed gets a loaf in before I get up – lovely to wake up to freshly baked bread

    I completely agree that good bread is one of life’s pleasures; I’m addicted to bread, especially fresh out of the bread machine. There’s nothing like that smell of homemade bread! This malted loaf looks fabulous!

      We’ve never had a bread machine, but do like having something to knead it.

    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 :)

    Reply
    • Helen

      Of that sounds good. I love avo on toast.

      It is a really good machine. Perfect for a busy family.

    I am gluten free and salivate over the thought of real bread! This looks so good, I’m sure my family would love it but I would be far too jealous to watch them sit and eat it!!

    My mother used to make bread every Monday. It was the best tasting bread ever.

    I love baking bread and there is nothing better than that warm bread smell. Sadly my bread maker died last year and I’ve fallen out of the habit of making my own. I think I need to invest in this

      Kara, with your large family you would love a Cuisine Companion.

    I can almost smell the fresh bread! Do the love the smell :) We love a fresh loaf and use our breadmaker to make them :) I must say that Tefal cuisine companion looks like a fab product!

      Love fresh bread. The Cuisine Companion is a good machine.

    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…..

      the secret is in the hand finishing of the loaf. Knead by machine, shape by hand.

    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.

      It is a good solid machine, needs a few tweaks, but it has real potential.

    I’ve never made my own bread before but you’ve really made me want to now, there’s something so wholesome about it isn’t there? Your food photography is fantastic by the way.

      I love homemade bread – once you start to make it you will never buy any again.
