<p>Our wholemeal bread recipe is a simple and satisfying bake, and perfect for bakers who are new to making their own bread. It’s soft, airy, and delicious, and perfect for sandwiches - or simply toasted with butter.</p>
<p>With just 7 ingredients and 6 steps in the process, our easy wholemeal bread recipe provides tips for baking success!</p>
<p>Our recipe for making wholemeal bread uses Allinson’s Very Strong Wholemeal as its the ideal bread flour to create a delicious wholemeal dough. Whilst you can substitute white bread flour and wholemeal bread flour like for like when it comes to quantities in a recipe, it is worth noting that wholemeal bread tends to give a slightly denser and moist texture with a little less rise and springiness. This is due to the bran in the flour reducing the effectiveness of the gluten. Nevertheless, we guarantee that you will have a super tasty loaf - evidenced by the 5* reviews from happy bakers.</p>
<h2>How to Store&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Once you've baked your wholemeal bread, it's best to store it by wrapping it in a paper bag, beeswax wrap, clean kitchen towel, plastic bread bag then place in a bread box where it will stay fresh for up to a week at room temperature. Make sure you allow the loaf to cool down completely before storing, as trapping heat will create condensation and lead to soggy bread which could mold quicker. If freezing your loaf, ensure to freeze as soon as possible to keep your bread fresher for longer.</p>

We love using Allinson's Flour range for our bread recipes, as it's perfect for kneading newbies or bread fanatics.</p>
<h3>What are the 4 main ingredients in bread?</h3>
<p>The four main ingredients in our white bread recipe are flour, yeast, water, and salt.</p>
<p>If you like this recipe, you could try our french baguettes recipe – &nbsp;made using Allinson's strong bread white flour. They're crusty, crunchy and beautifully-golden!</p>

<p>If you're craving that perfect homemade pizza but don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen, the Allinson’s easy pizza dough recipe is for you. It takes about 10 minutes of kneading by hand—just enough to feel like you're doing something—and then you let the dough do its thing.</p>
<p>Once the dough has proved, it’s time for the fun part, roll it out or go full pro and give it a spin! Pile on your favourite toppings, pop it in the oven, and wait for that golden, crispy magic.</p>
<p>This pizza dough recipe makes up to 3 large pizzas, so there are plenty of slices to go around. Or you can make now, freeze and enjoy later.</p>
<h2><strong>What flour should I use?</strong></h2>
<p>When making pizza dough we use Allinson’s Strong White Bread Flour. The higher gluten levels in the flour give a chewier, stretchy dough that once baked delivers the most flavourful, chewy, slightly crispy crust – pizza perfection!</p>
<h3>Can pizza dough be made in advance?</h3>
<p>Yes! Pizza dough can be made up to 4-5 days before baking - make sure you keep it in the fridge before using it, and allow it to come to room temperature before shaping it into your pizza bases.</p>
<h3>How do I knead pizza dough?</h3>
<p>It couldn't be easier to knead your pizza dough, even if you're new to making homemade pizza bases! Kneading the dough is a vital stage, as it develops the dough’s gluten, giving the dough its chewy texture and structure.</p>
<p>To knead pizza dough, start by dusting your work surface with flour. Place the dough on the surface and press it down with the heel of your hand, pushing it away from you. Fold the dough back over itself, give it a quarter turn, and repeat the pressing motion. Continue this rhythm, adding flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking.</p>
<p>Knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. To test if it’s ready to bake, poke the dough with your finger; it should spring back.</p>
<h2>How to Store</h2>
<p>Your homemade pizza dough will last up to 4-5 days in the fridge or up to 3 months frozen. You should avoid leaving the dough at room temperature for too long as the surface of the dough may dry out. Lightly coat your dough with oil and wrap with plastic wrap or seal in an airtight container. When you're ready to use, allow it to come to room temperature before shaping the dough into your pizza bases (this could take up to 30 minutes). If freezing your dough, divide it into individual pizza sizes and oil each ball before wrapping tightly in plastic wrap and then popping in the freezer.</p>

<h3>What is tiger bread?</h3>
<p>Tiger bread is a type of Dutch bread, also going by the name of Dutch Crunch. It has a unique, mottled outer crust that is crunchy and chewy, whilst the dough inside remains soft and airy.</p>
<h3>Why is tiger bread called tiger bread?</h3>
<p>Tiger bread gets its name due to the unique patterning on its crust, resembling a tiger's stripes. It is also often referred to as giraffe bread as the mottled pattern also resembles a giraffes spots.</p>
<h3>What makes tiger bread different to normal bread?</h3>
<p>When baking tiger bread, a paste made from yeast, sugar, oil, salt, ground rice and water is painted onto the surface. When cooked, this paste gives tiger bread its unique patterned crust. This crust is crunchy, chewy and salty, whilst the dough inside remains soft and delicate.</p>

<p>Packed full of flavour from the sundried tomatoes, this tomato-based bread is a great starting point for those looking to add something a little extra to their everyday bread recipes.</p>
<p>Our sundried tomato bread recipe is simple to follow and easy to make, so you can look forward to serving this delicious loaf as a starter, with fresh olives, balsamic vinegar and olive oil to dip it in.</p>
<p>You can make this recipe with dry-packed sundried tomatoes, but we prefer using the kind which come in oil, as we drizzle a little of the tomato-infused oil over the top of the dough before baking. Our top tip is to pat the chopped sundried tomatoes down slightly before adding them to the dough to avoid adding too much oil to the mix.</p>

<p>Filled with fruit and piped with a white cross, replace your shop-bought buns with these delicious homemade buns - you won't regret it, promise.</p>
<h3>What are hot cross buns filled with?</h3>
<p>Hot cross buns are filled with lots of fruits and spices to give a warming, rich flavour to a basic dough base. Made with mixed spice, sultanas and fresh mixed peel, each zesty bite is full of flavour and a firm favourite sweet dough in our recipe book.</p>
<h3>Can I eat hot cross buns hot or cold?</h3>
<p>It doesn't matter - eat them however you feel comfortable! We prefer ours sliced in half then toasted with a slather of butter melting on each slice.</p>
<h3>What is the white cross on hot cross buns made from?</h3>
<p>The white cross is made from a thick flour paste made from plain flour, and it represents the cross which Jesus was crucified on.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>What are hot cross buns called in the US?</h3>
<p>In America, hot cross buns are called Easter buns or hot fruit buns.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Our milk bread recipe has a soft, light texture and a delicately sweet flavour. You can enjoy this topped with butter and jam, or use it for a sandwich. This recipe is also great for making into rolls or a round cob-shaped loaf.</p>
<h3><strong>Is milk bread the same as brioche?</strong></h3>
<p>Milk bread and brioche are both delicate, soft and sweet breads. Brioche is richer than milk bread as it is enriched with lots of butter. Brioche also contains egg, giving it its yellow colour and chewy texture.</p>
<h3>How is milk bread different to regular bread?</h3>
<p>When making milk bread, the only liquid you'll need to use is milk. With most other yeast-based bread recipes, like with regular white bread, you'll use water.</p>
<h3>Why isn't my milk bread fluffy?</h3>
<p>If your milk bread is coming out dense rather than fluffy, the dough is likely under-kneaded. For your milk bread to become soft and fluffy, the dough needs to be kneaded enough so that the gluten expands.</p>
<p>Allinson's Strong white bread flour is perfect for baking milk bread. If you enjoyed making this recipe, you should give our <a data-item-id="0a6ac03e-b262-5f76-b54c-76cff9f97e09" href="">easy white bread recipe</a> a try!</p>
