Diet? Why not a piece of rye bread
Nowadays, to optimize health
benefits, more and more health conscious people opt to eat bread made of wholemeal
grain rather than plain flour bread. Many
believe, in fact is also proven, that bread made of wholemeal flour which
contains higher fibre, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than the refined and
bleached white bread flour is healthier. Wholemeal promotes weight loss, as it
takes longer for the body to absorb than it takes to absorb refined grains.
I have posted wholemeal bread
recipes, click to visit the post here Tangzhong wholemeal bread. To continue in trying out more nutritious multigrain
breads, this time I combined wholemeal flour with – Rye flour.
Research shows Rye flour is more nutritious than wheat. Rye flour helps to lower
insulin response and improves blood glucose profile which reduces the risk of
diabetes. It also reduces inflammation in people with metabolic syndrome. Rye bread with higher fibre content makes you feel
fuller and satisfied longer than wheat. It also helps to reduce the risk of
cardiovascular disease.
WHOLEMEAL RYE BREAD |
For this recipe, I adapted the Tangzhou wholemeal recipe and replaced part of the wholemeal flour with rye flour. I found with the rye flour mixture, the texture of the bread was softer and lighter than wholemeal flour by itself.

For this recipe, I adapted the Tangzhou wholemeal recipe and replaced part of the wholemeal flour with rye flour. I found with the rye flour mixture, the texture of the bread was softer and lighter than wholemeal flour by itself.
A:
200 g bread/high
protein flour
75 g wholemeal
flour
75 g rye flour
5 g instant yeast
55 g castor sugar
5 g salt
B:
1 egg
125 g milk
120 g of the
Tangzhong
30 g high protein
flour
150 g water
C:
30 g very soft butter
Pour flour into
mixing bowl; add in the rest of ingredients A. However, avoid having the salt
come in direct contact with the yeast which might dehydrate and kill the
yeast. Add in ingredients B and use your hand or stand mixer equipped with a
dough hook to mix all the ingredients,
knead in the mixer for 15 – 20 minutes
into soft dough then add in the butter (ingredient C) and continue to
knead until smooth and elastic dough is formed.
Test by pulling
the dough. Dough with whole meal flour
will be harder to reach the stage of a thin sheet. As long as the dough is
stretchable and does not easily break off, the dough is ready for its first
rise.
Cover the bowl
and leave it to double in size.
Once the dough
doubles in size (Finger test – Poke finger into center of the dough and
depression does not rise up, dough is fully proven ) punch it a few times to
deflate it (using hand knuckles)
Divide dough into
3 equal portions and shape them into balls. Cover and leave them to rest 15
minutes.
Shape each into
an oval shape. Place them into a greased loaf pan, covered with greased
plastic wrap and leave dough to proof for 2nd time.
Preheat oven
180°C and bake for 30 minutes. Instead of using egg wash, I spray the bread
dough with water before I place the loaf pan into the center of the oven.
To avoid over
burnt crust, after 15-20 minutes of baking, I use foil to lightly cover the
bread and continue to bake until the required time.
湯種黑麦面包
汤种材料:
吐司材料:
A:高粉200克,麦粉75克,黑麦粉75克, 白砂糖50克,盐7克,干酵母10克,
B:牛奶125克,全蛋60克,汤种120克
C:牛油30克
做法
將材料放入攪拌盆, 加入材料 A, 把酵母和糖、鹽分開放。以免脫水。
再加入材料B后用抹刀将面粉攪拌成团,直到面团太粘,才开始用双手揉面团。
最初5分钟,你将体验非常黏手的面团,只要继续揉,面团将逐步成形。
一旦面团成形,你可以开始把面团倒在干净光滑的台面继续揉。不需要在台面上撒粉。
我花了至少10-15分钟才把面团搓成有弹性和筋膜的面团。
然后把面团放置回盆里,加入融化的牛油。这时你将面对很油腻很不像样的面团。
但坚持搓下去,10分钟后,一旦面团没那么油腻,回迁台面揉面至光滑,富有弹性可扩展阶段的面团。把揉好的面团放入干净的容器中,跟着用保鲜膜盖好,作第一次发酵,至面团发大两倍。(手指测试 - 将手指戳下面团中心起不来,就证明面团充分发酵)
用手关节拍下排去面团内部的空气,分割成3份滚圆,松弛15分钟。
将3份面团擀成椭圆形;自上而下卷成圆筒状,收口朝下,依次放入排入抹油的面包盘或吐司盒用保鲜膜覆盖继续进行最后发酵。把烤箱预热180度。我没在面团上塗蛋液我只用少量的水喷在面包团才放入烤箱中烘烤30分钟。为了避免面包过于上色,烘烤15-20分钟后我就用铝箔轻轻盖上面包,继续烘烤,直到所需的时间。出炉后立即脱模。

This is a wonderful recipe, Yin! I use tangzhong method to make bread a lot, never try the wholemeal and rye flour. The bread looks soft and full of goodies!
ReplyDeleteVeronica, yes once u use tangzhong method in making bread u won't want to use traditional way anymore coz the bread is softer than the old way.
DeleteHi Yin, I have tried this recipe and the bread turned out to be even softer than the earlier wholemeal toast bread. So nice. However, while hand kneading the dough it is too sticky that I need to add almost another 60g of bread flour. I do not have problem with your other wholemeal toast bread recipe and the Hokkaido bread. Should I reduce the amount of milk?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing! I started baking bread only upon reading your blog. I also tried your recipe of pork roll and satay meat ball (without satay sauce). They are good! Thank you again :-)
Hi Alice:
DeleteReally happy to know you enjoy the recipes I shared here.
Yes, true that sometime Tangzhou bread can be a bit sticky if hand knead, you can use your feeling to adjust the measurement a bit to the right consistency that you deem ok to you. I sometime reduce 10-20ml milk.
Thank you Yin! I will try it again in the next couple of days.
DeleteHi Yin, apologise for not updating. I tried to varies the milk by reducing 5ml every time I bake. Finally with 85 ml of milk seems perfect. Yes, I have baked at least 6 times of rye from Nov last year. In between I also baked your other types of bread. After learning how to bake, we find the commercial bread too salty. Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDear Alice:
DeleteNice to hear from you again. I am embarrassed to say that I have not able to do any new baking due to job commitment lately.
However, seeing your positive comments, I need to resume this baking interest again. Thanks again for the updates.
I am so glad that you are sharing, please do not say that you are embarrassed. We are busy with work, family and children. But you still take the time to update your blog and share. I learned many stuff from your blog. Thank you again.
