Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Wheat bran
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Yeast (instant or active dry)
- 1 cups Warm water (approximately 110°F or 43°C)
- 0.5 cups Milk (warm, approximately 110°F or 43°C)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, warm milk, and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. This helps ensure the yeast is activated.
Add the wheat bran, softened butter, egg, and salt to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, as needed.
Lightly grease a large bowl with oil. Place the dough in the bowl and turn it to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it has risen above the rim of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) about 20 minutes before baking.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it sit in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your delicious white wheat bran bread plain, toasted, or with your favorite toppings.
