Simply No Knead bread flours-
– UNTREATED WHITE BREAD FLOUR: Makes soft, creamy white bread.
– WHOLEMEAL BREAD FLOUR: Makes tasty, soft, high fibre
– PASTA DURA BREAD FLOUR: Makes a crusty Italian style bread. This can be used to make free standing rolls, cobs, braids.
– 100% RYE FLOUR: Makes very heavy European style Rye flavoured loaf.
Ideal loaf is to use 50% Rye 100% & 50% UT *It will not work on its own in a bread machine.
– SPELT FLOUR* You may need to adjust the water level (5-10ml either way depending on the performance of each batch.)
– KAMUT FLOUR* Tends to require more liquid to achieve a good result.
*Ancient Grains behave quite differently compared to modern wheat varieties when in a bread machine-often you will get a flat or slightly sunken top and you may have to adjust the water amount slightly to achieve the best result –or use your machine to mix and bake it in a bread tin in your oven.
The following recipes are using plain bread flours.
Make note you will need to add:
1. BREAD IMPROVER – This stimulates the yeast to produce extra carbon-dioxide which expands the gluten cell and makes the bread lighter, this also helps to make the bread softer and keep better.
2. SALT – Enhances the flavour and prevents the yeast from over fermenting and producing a sour taste.
3. SUGAR – Enhances the flavour and makes a browner crust.
