Grant Loaf


This is just the bread I have been looking for, good and solid, excellent as buttered toast, and better still, really easy to make.
Grant Loaf

5 cups organic stoneground wholemeal flour
1 sachet fast action yeast (7g)
1 teaspoon honey
2.5 cups of warm water
1 tsp salt

Mix all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add water and honey and combine well, mixing vigorously for 1-2 minutes. The dough will be much wetter than a normal bread dough so don't worry! Put into a loaf tin (NB this bread will not work on a flat tray), and leave to rise in a warm place for about 35 mins covered with a damp cloth. Bake at 200 degree C for 35 to 40 minutes until the bread sounds hollow if you knock it on the bottom. Remove from tin to cool. Delicious toasted. Can be frozen for up to one month.

By the way, I tried covering it in sesame seeds but they all fell off, hence they are in the photo and not the recipe. :)
