Wholemeal sandwich bread that doesn't fall apart?

[Aleisha]

Hi Thermomixers,

I was just wondering if anyone has had success making Wholemeal bread that doesn't fall apart. I'd really appreciate some tips.

Thanks

Helene on superkitchenmachine does a really nice rustic seed loaf:

Try the No Fuss bread recipe and use Wholemeal flour instead of white.  I would add an extra Tablespoon of water as Wholemeal flour need more.

I'd do both as they are both lovely to eat.

Hi. I am loving the No Fuss bread and it comes out great every time. I do add bread improver and do the double rise if I have time, BUT I would like to be able to do a whole grain version and each time I have substituted the white bread flour for whole meal it doesn't turn out, doesn't rise, dense texture. Do you have to adjust water/ yeast when using whole meal?

GHM,  I only use 1/2 wholemeal or 100g grain in this recipe.

Aleisha i do the no fuss dough

instead of 510g white flour i use  400g of Wholemeal flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons of  bread improver

very light and soft

I've had success with the no fuss recipe with a long rise (Halex's method).  I have been using
-520g 100% lighthouse brand wholemeal bread flour
-280ml water
-1 tsp bread improver
-0.5 tsp salt
-0.5 tsp sugar
-7g dried yeast

My oven is particularly slow and pathetic so I cook the bread for 35-40 minutes (fist 20 minutes in the tin) at 230c.

Good luck!
