Daniel Coffey, one of our regular customers, shared his recipe for this light but healthy wholemeal loaf made from YQ Wheat Flour, it's a great alternative to a heavier full wholemeal loaf. |
Daniel sent over a few pictures of his 50/50 Wakelyns loaf and we were so taken with them we asked him to send over the full recipe. Here's what he said:
While the Wakelyns YQ wheat flour does lend itself to a full, delicious 100% wholemeal loaf, some folks can find that a little stronger in flavour and denser than they are used to. This is a recipe for a half wholemeal, half white loaf that can even be used as a soft sandwich loaf if you add a little oil. It will have a good crust, a lovely wholemeal taste but will be somewhat lighter than an all-wholemeal loaf.
Remember that all-wholemeal loaves have less gluten than a similar all-white loaf so be prepared for a slightly saggy shape and don't let it over-rise at the proofing stage. It is perfectly acceptable to make this in a large loaf tin if you prefer. You could even make it into rolls.

Isabella Palmer's salad of beetroot, barley and peas is a real show-stopper: textured, zippy and vibrant. The beetroot and the black barley are both full of antioxidant anthocyanins, giving them such rich colour. This salad keeps well in the fridge for batch lunches (but if you’re making ahead, add the crispy topping just before serving).
