Wheat Bran Bread Recipe
I never thought bran bread would turn out this beautiful. Loved the porous texture. I loved the chewiness of the bread, i feel really healthy when i eat this.
Bread is a staple food that is typically baked from a dough of flour and water. It has been an important part of many cultures; diets throughout recorded history and around the world. Bread, particularly wholemeal bread, is a good source of dietary
fibre, which helps to keep our digestive system healthy, regulates blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and keeps us feeling fuller for longer.
Why is bread called bread?
Some say the word bread comes from an older root related to brewing, in reference to the rising action of the yeast, but its more likely to have come from a root related to breaking things up into small pieces.
What is wheat bran?
The bran is the hard outer layer of the wheat kernel that is high in nutrients and fibre. The bran is removed from the wheat kernel during the milling process and becomes a byproduct. Wheat bran tastes sweet and nutty.

This bread was my experiment, i just measured my own ingredients and baked this. Just look at those texture, very porous and spongy like. Seeing the dough too sticky I thought this bread would be a disaster, but to my surprise it turned out to be perfection. Now this recipe is going to be in my repitore. Going to enjoy this for a few days.
Ingredients for Wheat Bran Bread Recipe :
Wheat Bran:
Wheat bran tastes sweet and nutty. It can be used to give bread, muffins, and other baked goods texture and flavour. Wheat bran is the protective outer shell of the wheat kernel that is removed during milling.
Honey :
Honey has been used for centuries in baking and bread baking because it adds moisture to the dough or batter. When used properly, the sugars in it can aid yeast growth.
Dry Yeast :
Most bread recipes call for active dry yeast when made at home. This yeast looks like small, tan granules the size of poppy seeds when it comes out of the package. The yeast has a long shelf life in this state if stored in a cool, dry place.
This is so easy to make as well and it makes the perfect toast or taste just delicious when spread with some jam or preserves over it when sliced fresh from the loaf.

- Now take wheat bran in a bowl, add in the remaining warm water and mix well. Let it sit for 5 mins.
- Add in oil, yeast water, wheat flour, 2 cups of maida and mix well. Give it a good mix. The dough will be very sticky.
- Now cover this with a plate and let it rest somewhere warm till it doubles in size, atleast 1 hour.
- After it has risen, add in remaining 1.5 cup of flour and knead well. you can use a ladle and mix it very very well. This develops the gluten. The dough will be still sticky but little elastic.
