Whole Wheat Bread

Ingredients:

• Wheat flour / Atta - 3 cups
• Instant yeast - 1 tsp
• Salt - 1 tsp
• Sugar - 3 tsp
• Butter - 2 tbsp (melted)
• Curd / Yogurt- 2 tbsp 
• Water - 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups (Adjust as per requirement)
• Milk - 1 tsp

Method:

1. In a bowl, add the wheat flour, salt, Instant yeast and sugar; mix well
2. Add butter and curd into it and mix to form crumbly texture
3. By slowly adding required water, knead to a smooth and soft dough. At this point the dough would be little stickier than our normal chapathi dough
   
4. Cover it with a damp kitchen towel and a lid; rest it for half an hour
5. After half an hour, the dough should have been raised; slightly punch the dough and knead well to form a thick log to fit the size of the loaf pan
6. Grease the loaf pan with little butter / ghee and place the dough inside it and cover it with lid; let it stand for another 40 mins
   
7. By this time, the dough should have raisen well
   
8. While waiting for the bread to rise, preheat the oven at 425 F for 15 mins
9. Make few slits on the loaf and brush 1 tsp of milk over it
   
10. Bake in the oven for about 25 mins or or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean
    
11. Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before turning it out of the pan onto a rack to cool completely
    
12. Once it became warm, slice and serve  or can be refrigerated for 2-3 days
