Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 300 gm Fine Semolina suji
- 100 gm Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1 tsp Yeast instant
- 1 Tbsp Sugar granulated
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the lukewarm water, sugar, and yeast. Set aside until foamy. This activates the yeast and ensures a good rise.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the semolina, whole wheat flour, garlic powder, and salt.
- Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 10-15 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Kneading develops the gluten, which gives the bread its structure.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough to release the air. Gently knead it again and shape it into a loaf.
- Place the loaf in a greased loaf pan. Cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-40 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Brush the top of the loaf with milk. Bake for 35 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C). If the top browns too quickly, tent it with foil.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Brush with olive oil or butter while still warm for added flavor and a soft crust.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an aromatic twist, add a teaspoon of dried herbs such as rosemary, oregano, or thyme to the dough along with the garlic powder.
- For a slightly sweeter loaf, increase the granulated sugar by 1-2 tablespoons and add a handful of raisins or chopped dried figs during the final kneading stage.
- For a crispier crust, place a shallow tray of water in the bottom of your oven during the first half of baking.
Expert Tips
- Use high-quality bread flour for the best texture and rise.
- Don't overknead the dough, as this can lead to a tough loaf.
- Check the bread's internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer; it should reach 200-210°F (93-99°C) for full doneness.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover bread wrapped in a clean kitchen towel or parchment paper (not plastic) to maintain its crust and prevent sogginess.
- Refresh slices in a toaster or warm oven before serving.
