Felicity's perfect wholemeal bread

It has taken me a long time to find a really good Wholemeal Bread recipe or method. Given up more than once, but came across this recipe and wow it works, and pretty easy to boot. Recording it here so I can find it again. Made it twice, and both times have given me a firm crust and a super soft body to the loaf.

Ingredients

400g strong wholemeal flour
50g strong white flour
2 tsp easy blend yeast
Half a 500mg vitamin C tablet, crushed
2 tsp salt
3 tsp brown sugar
400ml warm water
50g melted butter

Method

1. Tip the flours, yeast, vitamin powder, salt and sugar into a bowl and mix well. Add 300ml water, and stir in well, then pour in the butter and work in well. You should have a soft, sticky dough: if not, add a little more water. Cover and leave for 10 minutes.

2. Tip out on to a lightly oiled work surface and knead for 10 seconds, then put back in the bowl and cover. Repeat twice more at intervals of 10 minutes, then leave the dough to rest for 15 minutes.

3. Flatten the dough into a rough rectangle about the length of your baking tin, then roll up tightly, and put into a greased tin, with the join facing downwards. Cover and leave to rest in a warm place until it has doubled in height (at least 1˝ hours).

4. Pre-heat the oven to 220C. Bake the bread for 20 minutes, then turn the temperature down to 200C and cook for a further 15–20 minutes, until the crust is a deep brown, and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Turn out on to a cooling rack.smrtovnice

Hints

My vitamin C tablets from Lidl are nowhere near 500mg, so I add a whole pone crushed.
