KitchenAid India
Being passionate about using wholegrain in my baked goods and knowing how tough it is to get gluten free flours to behave themselves, I was thrilled when I received my KitchenAid Bowl Lift type stand mixer from KitchenAid India. While I will take a bit of time to experiment and work it to its optimal potential, I thought I would start with this simple single rise loaf of bread that is made healthier with the addition of whole wheat flour. The possibilities with this machine are endless and and I am eager to play with my new toy and create excitement !!!
So here is my awfully simple bread which has been made awfully simpler by the KitchenAid Open-mouthed smile
The joys of providing your family with fresh baked bread, ranks high up on the general list of Joys !!!
Kneading timings are by trial and error since it is my first ‘production’ using the machine but I will perfect this with continued use.
A special mention has to be made about the KitchenAid Professional grade Aluminized Steel loaf pan. A pan so amazing that I wanted to ask it – where it had been my whole life ?!!! Ideal for breads and I am sure, cakes too, this makes the extraction of the loaf a real breeze and barely requires much greasing.

– Mix the ingredients 6-8 lightly in a small bowl and add it to the above.
– Run the mixer for around 3 minutes starting from speed 1 for a minute and ending with speed 2 till the wet and dry ingredients come together.
– Stop the mixer and switch the paddle for the dough hook.
– Run the mixer for a total of 6-7 minutes, stopping from time to time to scrape down the sides with a silicon spatula.

– Pre-heat the oven to 230 degrees Celsius (or 250 if your oven permits)
– Brush the top of the dough lightly with the beaten egg, using a silicon brush.
