Marriage's Golden Wholegrain Flour in a Bread Maker

Update

I made a loaf with 100% golden wholegrain flour and it turned out great. I won't bother adding any white flour next time.

Marriage’s Golden Wholegrain bread flour intrigued me. The packet claims it has:

“a sweeter, milder flavour and lighter colour than traditional wholemeal flour.”

With slight suspicion, I checked the fibre content, assuming this was a wholemeal and white flour mix. Nope. The amount of fibre is nearly identical to Marriage’s other wholemeal flours (the carb to fibre ratio is 6.5).

I’ve made the dough and an entire loaf in my ZB2512 Panasonic bread maker. For the medium loaf (who are Panasonic kidding; it’s small), I used 325g of golden wholegrain flour and 75g of white. Honestly, I could’ve just used golden wholegrain; it really is light and mild (update: 100% wholegrain tastes great).

An 80% (or 100%) wholemeal loaf that isn’t a brick is quite an achievement. Kudos, Marriage's (they also have a cool domain: flour.co.uk). I’m a fan and have already added another bag to my online grocery basket.

Notes

If using the 'rapid whole wheat' 3 hour programme (menu 6), add an extra ¼ teaspoon of dried yeast. I haven’t tested this flour with the rapid programme.

Use any ratio of wholemeal and white flour. The Panasonic recipe booklet lists the same amount of ingredients for a 50%, 70% and 100% wholemeal loaf.

You can delay when the bread maker will finish by up to 13 hours when using menu 5 (but not menu 6).

Makes: 1 loaf

Ingredients

Medium loaf

325g Marriage's Golden Wholegrain bread flour
75g strong white bread flour
1 tsp sugar
15g butter (or 12g of olive oil)
1 tsp salt
300ml water
¾ tsp dried yeast (I use Allinson's Easy Bake Yeast)

Large loaf

350g Marriage's Golden Wholegrain bread flour
150g strong white bread flour
1½ tsp sugar
25g butter (or around 19g oil)
1¼ tsp salt
370ml water
1 tsp dried yeast (I use Allinson's Easy Bake Yeast)

Extra large loaf

425g Marriage's Golden Wholegrain bread flour
175g strong white bread flour
2 tsp sugar
25g butter (or around 19g oil)
1½ salt salt
430ml water
1½ tsp dried yeast (I use Allinson's Easy Bake Yeast)

Method

Medium loaf: Put the blade into the bread tin. Add 325g of Marriage’s Golden Wholegrain bread flour, 75g of strong white bread flour, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 15g of butter (or 12g of olive oil), 1 teaspoon of salt and 300ml of water into the loaf tin. Place into the bread maker.
Add ¾ teaspoon of yeast to the yeast dispenser (See notes if using a rapid programme). Select a wholemeal bread setting (for me, it’s menu 5, whole wheat, on my Panasonic ZB2512 bread maker, which takes 5 hours). You can delay when the bread maker will finish by up to 13 hours.
When the timer sounds, shake the loaf out onto a rack and allow it to cool. Slicing hot bread makes the crumb gummy.
