Servings: 12 slices (1 medium loaf)
Ingredients
- 100 ml milk
- 145 ml water - lukewarm
- 1 tsp yeast
- 2 tbs oil - rapeseed or similar
- 200 g strong white bread flour
- 150 g strong brown bread flour
- 140 g grated root vegetables - Grated finely. I used a mix of carrot and parsnip and swede.
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp butter - to grease bread tin
Instructions
- Add the yeast to water and milk and whisk in until dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and bring together to a rough and shaggy dough.
- Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until stretchy and pliable. Place the dough back in the bowl, and cover.
- Allow to rise for hour or so, until light and puffy, and doubled in size.
- Knock back and form into a loaf shape. Transfer to a greased loaf tin, cover, and leave to proof, for another hour or so.
- Bake at 200°C/Gas mark 6 for 40 minutes. It's done when it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
