I've been experimenting with home-baked bread of late, and have been trying some recipes that haven't worked out so well. So, now I've found a good recipe, I figured I'd put it somewhere that I can find it.
Simple Wholemeal Loaf
500g wholemeal bread flour
7g sachet dried yeast
1.5 tsp salt
175 ml tepid milk
175 ml tepid water

- Mix together the flour, yeast and salt, and add the milk and water. Mix to form a soft dough, adding a little more water if it seems too dry.
- Lightly flour a surface, and turn the dough out onto it. Knead for ~10 minutes until the dough is smooth, and elastic.
- Grease a loaf tin (well!), and pop the dough into it. Cover with a tea-towel, or greased clingfilm, and leave aside for 1-1.5hrs to rise.
- Brush with milk, and dust with flour, then bake in an oven at 220 degrees C, for ~15 minutes until pale golden. Leave to cool.

I found that it worked out pretty well, and wasn't too heavy!
