Prep Time2 hrs
Cook Time40 mins
Total Time2 hrs 40 mins
- 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
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.
