Whole Wheat Bread: Failed

I made whole wheat bread today. The composition of the flour is white flour : whole wheat = 60:40. Apparently, it’s not a good composition. No wonder when people make this kind of bread, they only use small amount of whole bread.

Previously I made this kind of bread, too, and succeed. Yet, the composition is different. I used small amount of whole wheat compared to the white bread flour.

It’s really a new knowledge for me since I’m not an expert myself. I rarely modified the bread recipes because averagely, the recipes are 👌👌👌 already.

I took notes on this project:

  1. The whole wheat portion is too much.
  2. The dough is so hard to achieve window pane condition. Of course, with that composition, it will be difficult.
  3. Apparently, the whole wheat bran doesn’t reactive to yeast, too. This situation is added to no.2 for creating failed bread. 😅😅
  4. The bread is eatable but my personal opinion, the texture is very rough and a slice makes my stomach full too much. I think, even though the whole wheat takes weight less than white flour but with this composition, the impact of it is still big.
  5. I think, I shouldn’t use whole wheat brand. Next i will use just whole wheat, without “bran’ word.
