100% Whole Wheat Eggless Soft Bread

Ingredients

• 280 ml lukewarm milk (Heat to 38–40°C, or until comfortably warm on the wrist)
• 30 ml warm water
• 2 tbsp honey (Dissolve into the milk and water mixture)
• 400 g whole wheat flour (100% whole wheat flour)
• 7 g instant yeast (Mentioned in the transcript, but no quantity is provided)
• 30 g softened unsalted butter (Cut into small pieces and add during kneading)
• oil (Optional; lightly oil your hands for kneading)
• 1.5 tsp salt

Steps

1. 1

   Warm 280 ml milk to 38–40°C. If you do not have a thermometer, it should feel comfortably warm on your wrist rather than hot.

2. 2

   Add 30 ml water and 2 tablespoons honey, along with the yeast, to the warm milk. Mix until the honey is fully dissolved.

3. 3

   Place 400 g whole wheat flour in a large bowl. Add the milk, honey, and yeast mixture, and mix with your hands or a wooden spoon until no dry flour remains.

4. 4

   Cover the bowl with cling film or a damp cloth and leave the dough at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.

5. 5

   Lightly oil your hands if desired, then knead the dough. The transcript discusses using 7 g yeast with the milk mixture.

6. 6

   Flatten the dough and add 30 g butter in small pieces. Knead thoroughly for another 3–4 minutes, until the butter is incorporated.

7. 7

   Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a container or bowl with the seam facing upward so the bread can rise without spreading.

8. 8

   Cover and leave the dough to rise until it has visibly increased in size, as shown in the video. The source does not provide a specific proofing time, baking temperature, or baking time.

Notes

The supplied transcript ends during the first rise and does not include complete shaping, baking, temperature, or cooking-time instructions. It mentions that the bread may be prepared in a kadai as well as an oven. Yeast is referred to in the narration, but its quantity is not stated.
