Whole grain bread

A bread today with the healthy (and also tasty) touch of the grains. It's an easy recipe and apart from the fact that I use whole grain flour, the procedure it's similar to the one that my mother and grand mother were doing for any kind of bread. The result was soooo great that I would urge you to try it@!


Ingredients
500gr of whole grain floour
2 packages of yeast for bread or the equivalent for the amount of the flour used
2 spoonfuls of olive oil
some salt
200-300ml of warm water

Procedure
Mix the ingredients either by hand or using the mixer and adjust the flour or the water to make a nice dough that does not stick to your hands but at the same time is not very dry either.






Cover the dough and leave it in the sun or in a warm place for about 30min.







Knead it for a 2-3 minutes and make a nice ball. Place it in an oven tray that is slightly oiled. Cover it and leave it again in a warm place for about 40min. Five minutes before the end, warm the oven at 240 degrees of Celsius and fan and when the time comes, lower to 210, with a knife give some style to your bread as shown in the photos and bake it, for about 35min. Special detail, add below a second but deeper oven tray where you have added some warm water. This won't let your bread to dry.

 
When done, take it out of the oven, cover it completely with a kitchen towel and put inside a thick blanket! Yes, a blanket :) This will keep fresh and warm your bread until your dear ones will come home and enjoy the nice surprise.
