Brown Bread Recipe
Brown Bread is a soft fluffy bread made with whole wheat flour and yeast. It is made by making a dough to rise and baking it until done fully. It has a mild flavour with soft texture and light crust on outside part. The inside crumb comes soft and airy when baked properly and it feels so good to slice.

Ingredients
For the sponge:

- 2 ½ tablespoon sugar
- ¾ tablespoon instant yeast*
For the bread:
- 2 cups wheat flour

- 2 tablespoon oil
- 1 to 2 tablespoon water if needed

Instructions
- To a mixing bowl - add flour, yeast and sugar.
- Add water. Mix it once.
- Set aside for at least for 1 hour for the sponge to get doubled.
- Now mix it once, then add remaining flour and oil.
- Add salt and extra water if needed to form a dough. It should come together and form a non sticky dough.

Notes
- Sponge resting – I usually allow sponge to rest until it doubles and it helps in good rise. Do not skip this step.
- Dough consistency – I make the dough soft and slightly non sticky and it should not be too dry. If dry it may not rise well.
- Kneading well – I knead using palms for few minutes and it helps to get smooth dough. It improves texture.
- Proofing time – I allow enough time for dough to rise and it may vary based on climate condition. Keep in warm place.
- Baking properly – I bake until top turns golden and it looks done. Do not under bake as it may be sticky inside.
