Delicious! I made the cinnamon raisin variation &amp; loved that it was not super sweet. I used some kefir that had turned to curds &amp; regular kefir. Great recipe &amp; excited to try the variations.

Kids can help with this super-simple bread recipe. Use whichever flour you like, granary, wholemeal or white

Bread in four easy steps

granary, strong wholewheat flour

sachet fast-action dried yeast

salt

olive oil

tbsp clear honey

Tip the flour, yeast and salt into a large bowl and mix together with your hands. Stir 300ml hand-hot water with the oil and honey, then stir into the dry ingredients to make a soft dough.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 mins, until the dough no longer feels sticky, sprinkling with a little more flour if you need it.

Oil a 900g loaf tin and put the dough in the tin, pressing it in evenly. Put in a large plastic food bag and leave to rise for 1 hr, until the dough has risen to fill the tin and it no longer springs back when you press it with your finger.

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Make several slashes across the top of the loaf with a sharp knife, then bake for 30-35 mins until the loaf is risen and golden. Tip it out onto a cooling rack and tap the base of the bread to check it is cooked. It should sound hollow. Leave to cool.

Delicious sliced warm and served with fresh butter, or used as sandwich bread the next day, this sweet molasses brown bread made with whole wheat, molasses and honey is one of our family favorites!

Sweet Molasses Brown Bread

water

Tablespoons instant yeast

molasses

Tablespoons oil

honey

whole wheat flour

bread flour

butter

Old-fashioned oats (for sprinkling on top)

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the water, yeast, molasses, cocoa powder, oil, honey, salt, and 2 cups of the whole wheat flour. Mix until combined.

With the mixer running, gradually add the rest of the flour starting with the whole wheat, then adding the bread flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl (you may not need the last cup of flour). Knead for 5-7 minutes. The dough should be soft and slightly tacky.

Transfer the dough to a large, lightly greased bowl, then cover with a sheet of plastic wrap lightly sprayed with cooking spray, or cover with a light dish towel.  Let rise until doubled in size, 1-2 hours.

Punch down the dough and divide into two or three evenly-sized pieces (depending on how large you want your loaves).  Shape into tight oval loaves and place onto parchment-lined baking sheets, making sure they have space to rise without touching each other. Lightly cover with plastic wrap lightly sprayed with cooking spray or a light dish towel and let rise again until puffy and doubled in size (another 45-60 minutes).  Right before baking, you can use a very sharp razor, knife or bread-slashing lame to cut three slashes across the top of each loaf, if desired.  

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.  Bake the loaves for 25 minutes.  Remove from the oven and lightly brush with the melted butter, then sprinkle with the oats and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until browned and cooked through.  Cool before slicing.

Try this simple step-by-step brown bread recipe to make a seeded loaf or try one of three gorgeous variations

Brown loaf

malted grain brown bread flour flour

strong white bread flour

sachet easy-bake dried yeast (or 2 tsp Quick dried yeast)

tbsp butter

Mix your choice of brown flour with the white, the yeast and salt in a large mixing bowl. Put in the butter and rub it into the flour. Stir in the seeds if using. Make a dip in the centre of the flour and pour in almost 300ml hand warm (cool rather than hot) water, with a round-bladed knife. Then mix in enough of the remaining water and a bit more if needed, to gather up any dry bits in the bottom of the bowl and until the mixture comes together as a soft, not too sticky, dough. Gather it into a ball with your hands.

Put the dough on to a very lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 mins until it feels smooth and elastic, only adding the minimum of extra flour if necessary to prevent the dough sticking. Place the ball of dough on a lightly floured work surface. Cover with an upturned, clean, large glass bowl and leave for 45 mins-1 hr or until doubled in size and feels light and springy. Timing will depend on the warmth of the room.

Knock back the dough by lightly kneading just 3-4 times. You only want to knock out any large air bubbles, so too much handling now will lose the dough’s lightness. Shape into a ball. Cover with the glass bowl and leave for 15 mins.

Now shape to make a tin loaf Grease a 1.2-litre capacity loaf tin (about 23 x 13 x 5.5cm) and line the base with baking parchment. Using your knuckles, flatten the dough into a rectangle about 25 x 19cm. Fold both shorter ends into the centre like an envelope, make a ¼ turn, then flatten again into the same size and roll up very tightly, starting from one of the short ends. Roll the top of the dough in extra seeds and place in the tin with the join underneath, pressing the seeds gently into the dough. Cover with a clean tea towel. Leave for 40-45 mins, or until risen about 5cm above the top of the tin.

Put a roasting tin in the bottom of the oven 20 mins before ready to bake and heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Put the risen bread in the oven, carefully pour about 250ml cold water into the roasting tin (this will hiss and create a burst of steam to give you a crisp crust), then lower the heat to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Bake for about 30 mins or until golden, covering with foil for the last 5 mins if starting to brown too quickly. Leave in the tin for 2-3 mins, then remove and cool on a wire rack. If you tap the underneath of the baked loaf if should be firm and sound hollow.

Brown Bread Recipe

all-purpose flour

water (or as needed)

dry active yeast (or 1 teaspoon instant yeast

sunflower oil (or melted butter)

sugar (or regular white sugar)

Warm 1 cup of water in a pan or in the microwave. The water should be lukewarm and not hot.

Add sugar and dry active yeast.

Stir to combine and let the yeast activate.

This usually takes about 10 to 12 minutes.

Proofing yeast

Sieve both the flours with salt in a large wide bowl or a large tray.

Add the proofed yeast and oil.

Mix all the ingredients.

Then begin to knead the dough.

If the dough feels sticky, add some flour.

If it feels dry, add some water.

Continue to knead for 10 to 12 minutes or until you get a smooth, supple dough which when stretched doesn&#39;t tear.

Kneading dough in a bowl

Add the flour and salt in the bowl.

On speed 1, mix the flour and salt for some seconds.

Add the yeast mixture and oil and on speed 2 knead the dough.

Continue kneading for 2 minutes and check the dough.

If it feels dry, add some warm water.

If it feels sticky, add some flour.

Continue kneading further for 2 to 3 minutes on speed 2 or till you get a smooth and pliable dough.

Kneading in a KitchenAid mixer

Rub oil or water all over the dough and keep in a covered bowl to leaven for 2 to 3 hours.

After 2 to 3 hours, remove the dough. Punch or knock back the dough with light hands and knead lightly.

Roll a single log of the dough.

Tuck the edges down on both sides of the dough log.

Place the dough log in a greased loaf pan (9x5 inches) with the tucked edges facing downwards.

Cover the loaf pan and let the dough leaven for 40 minutes or 1 hour.

Leavening dough

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C or 350 degrees F.

Bake the loaf for 35 to 40 minutes or until the bread is well browned on top and sounds hollow when tapped.

Wait for 3 to 5 minutes. While still hot, then using oven mittens, remove the loaf from the pan. Place the bread on a wire rack or tray to cool to room temperature.

Slice and serve the Brown Bread or refrigerate for later use.

Baking Brown Bread

Now you can enjoy the signature brown bread baguette from the famous Cheesecake factory at home! This copycat recipe will show you how to make a flavorful and rustic brown bread that is satisfying and delicious.

Cheesecake Factory Brown Bread

Whole wheat Flour

120 g All-purpose Flour

tsp Instant Dry Yeast

tbsp Cocoa Powder

200 ml Warm Water

tbsp Maple Syrup

tbsp Vegetable Oil

Jumbo Rolled Oats (topping)

Combine the whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, dry yeast, salt, and cocoa powder in a large bowl. Add in the warm water, maple syrup, and vegetable oil and mix well with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead by hand for around 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and pliable. The dough will be slightly tacky but when pressed the dough should spring back.

Grease a large glass bowl with butter or oil and place the dough ball inside. Cover with plastic wrap or a tight fitting lid and set aside in a slightly warm place to rise for at least 40 minutes.

Once the dough has risen, divide the dough ball in half and set one half aside.

Begin shaping the dough by flattening into a rectangle. Fold the long side of the rectangle into the middle, making sure the edges overlap.

Fold the dough in half again starting from the long side into the center and press the seam closed with the palm of your hand. You should now have a log of dough roughly in the shape of a baguette.

Flip the log over so the seam side is facing down. Shape the log into a round cylinder by rolling back and forth a few times to smooth out any lumps.

Brush the top of the roll with cold water and sprinkle with jumbo rolled oats. Roll and press the oats into the top so they stick properly.

Repeat the process of forming for the second half of the dough.

Transfer the formed baguette to a parchment lined baking tray and cover with a kitchen towel for 30 minutes to let them prove.

Once proved, score three shallow crosswise slices on the top of the baguette and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 30 minutes.

Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving warm with butter.
