granary bread flour A combination of white, wholemeal and rye flours mixed with malted whole wheat grains, which adds both texture and flavour. Use on its own or in combination with strong white flour. ingredients The major ingredient in bread making is flour, so selecting the right one is the key to a successful loaf. wheat flours Wheat flours make the best loaves. Wheat consists of an outer husk, often referred to as bran, and an inner kernel, which contains the wheat germ and endosperm.
fats and oils A small amount of fat or oil is often added to bread to give a softer crumb. It also helps to extend the freshness of the loaf. Use butter, margarine or even lard in small quantities up to 25 g (1 oz) or 22ml (11⁄2 tbsp.) vegetable oil. Where a recipe uses larger amounts so the flavour is more noticeable, butter will provide the best result. ● ● ● Olive oil or sunflower oil can be used instead of butter, adjust the liquid content for amounts over 15ml (3 tsp) accordingly.
