Waking up to the aroma of a freshly baking bread in the morning is just too good to describe......
Well, I bought this breadmaker Breville Ultimate Baker's Oven this week to make my own breads. The 2Bs doctor has advised us to avoid any kind of packaged and processed food for their asthma. I tried the first bread yesterday - plain wholemeal bread. Which turned out quite good for a first timer.
Well, today I tried fruit loaf. Changed a few things from the recipe in the manual that came with the bread maker since I wanted to avoid bread flour. I used the same recipe as the the wholemeal bread but instead of the 100% wholemeal flour, I mixed half and half of WHolemeal and plain flour and added cinnamom and dry fruits to it, but baked it not on the wholemeal bread but on the 'sweet bread' setting. Came out wonderful !
This recipe is for 750gm loaf and the ingredients to be added in the same order. Since the measurements can be different in different countries, please refer to these measurements for all my breadmaker's recipies as it is adjusted to Australian and NZ standard cups ( 1teaspoon:5ml, 1 tablespoon: 20ml, 1 Cup: 250ml)
Water: 295ml
Oil ( sunflower/canola/olive) 1and half Australian tablespoons
Salt: 1 1/2 teaspoon
Sugar: 2 1/2 tablespoons
Wholemeal flour: 1 1/2 cups
Plain flour: 1 1/2 cups
Milk powder: 2 Tablespoon
Edmonds surebake yeast: 1 1/4 teaspoon
Cinnamon powder: 1 teaspoon
Put the breadmaker on 'sweet' setting.
Take the loaf out when the breadmaker beeps. Let it cool completely before cutting it in slices.
