Lockdown Cooking | 100% fat free whole wheat bread

How about trying to bake bread without any oil or butter? This time, I tried baking a healthier version of whole wheat bread using just 4 ingredients! Plus, I baked it without using an oven. Check it out! 🙂

Serves : 3 

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Baking time: 35 minutes

Resting time: 90 minutes

What did I use?

• Whole wheat flour – 4 cups
• Warm water – 2 cups
• Instant yeast – 2 teaspoon
• Salt – 1 teaspoon

How did I make it?

• As my first step, I took a deep bowl and added warm water to it. Next, I added yeast and salt, and mixed it till my yeast dissolved. Since I used active yeast, I did not wait for the yeast to ferment.
• My next step was to add the flour in parts and knead for about 10 to 15 minutes, till the dough becomes soft. My dough was sticky as I did not use any oil or butter to the dough. 
• Once kneaded, I covered the dough and allowed it to rest for 60 minutes.
• After 60 minutes, I kneaded the dough for about 5 minutes and placed it in the baking tray. After that, I allowed it to rest for about 30 more minutes.

• While my dough was resting, I took a saucepan with lid and placed it on a high flame to pre-heat it.
• Once my dough had rested well, I placed the baking tray on the saucepan and covered it to ensure that no heat escapes while baking. 
• I baked the bread on a medium flame for 35 to 40 minutes, or till the bread is golden brown.
• Once baked, I allowed it to cool and then served!
• Freshly baked bread is ready! ❤️
