Wholemeal loaf (50%)

The recipe for a 50% wholemeal flour loaf. There are recipes for other ratios of wholemeal flour in our breadmaker section.

I've found that with all brown or wholemeal flour bread recipes, half a vitamin C tablet (ascorbic acid) crushed between two tablespoons (about 100 mg) and added to the flour, seems to prevent a heavy, poorly risen loaf. It has an effect on Glutathione (WIkipedia) which has an affect on the the elasticity of the dough.

This recipe is suitable for a standard breadmaker, specifically the Panasonic SD253 and similar models.

It will almost certainly work for most breadmakers and is worth trying if you have lost your instruction book!
