Wholemeal and Oats bread

I just love the smell of freshly baked bread and you do not get that when you buy bread from outside and believe me when I tell you this it is super easy to make bread at home and the best part is you know what goes into the bread . The only work involved is in waiting for it to rise and to knead , which you have to do a couple of times but it is worth the work you put in and frankly it is a good excercise for your arms , so here goes.......

              
INGREDIENTS 

2and 3/4 cup wholemeal flour 

1 cup white bread flour 

1/2 cup oats 

1 tsp salt 

1 and 1/2 tsp instant yeast 

2 tbsp sugar 

2 tbsp olive oil 

1 and 1/2 cup warm water 

METHOD

Mix up all the dry ingredients together first ,just whisk it to mix it all up 

Add the water and oil and make a dough (it will be sticky)

put the dough in a greased pan and leave to rise for about an hour 

After it has risen ,knock it back again and leave to rise 

Again knock back the dough and flour a flat surface and flatten it with a rolling pin .

Roll it like you would roll a swiss roll cake and put it in a loaf tin and leave to rise again 

Bake in a 200 degree c oven for 30 min -40 min .

NOTES

To get a light and fluffy bread , the dough should be a bit wet because the more moisture it has the lighter the bread will be . This is quite a dense bread because of the wholemeal and the oats .
