Milky Wholemeal Loaf

I was immediately attracted to this milky wholemeal bread when I read it at one of Kitchen Corner's post. From her pictures, I could see that the bread was soft and milky white, definitely gonna be delicious. It combined my favourite - milk and wholemeal in a recipe. :D
I tired out this recipe last weekend and true enough, the bread was very soft and fluffy. It has been a long time I bake a loaf in a pullman loaf tin and was glad I was able to achieve a aquare loaf. :)
You should be able to see from the picture that it is a very soft loaf. Too bad my slicing skills was very bad, very bad indeed that the bread was not sliced in equal slices and had really jagged surface. :P Some of them were pressed too hard and 'reduced in volume'. I find that I had difficulty slicing when the bread is too soft with damaging it. :P
This recipe is definitely a keeper and do try it!

    I understand how difficult it is to slice breads. But the harder to slice it, means the softer the bread is, which is something good! It looks really fluffy from your photos! Yummy! :)

    I have a BIG problem with slicing a loaf too! I always end up with slices that are slanted...very thick on top and it gets thinner nearer the bottom!

    SSB, yeah the more difficult it is, this means the softer the bread. :)

    HHB, I thought only I have this problem. But from your photo it always looks ok. For me most of the time I need the help from my dad. :P I also get uneven slices too. If it's soft buns then would not have this problem. hehe...

    WOW, I will try this recipe this weekend, I have always been looking for a soft bread texture recipe, please let me know if you have any other hints or suggestions you can share... I have attempted to make so many bread but end up with a really dense and heavy loaf no matter how hard I try to follow the recipe exactly.....

    Hi, I guess kneading is quite important. You got to knead the dough until it's soft and elastic, and you are able to pull the dough apart without breaking for about 6cm or more. That is called the window pane test as it forms a sheer thin film, without breaking. So far this is what I realize the crucial part to achieving soft bread. :)
