Wheat Sandwich Bread Loaf

Ingredients:

• Wheat flour  2½ heaped cup
• All purpose flour 1 cup
• Warm water 1½ cup
• Dry yeast 1½ Tsp
• Sugar 1/3 cup
• Milk 2 Tbsp
• Salt 1½ Tsp
• Oil 4 Tbsp

Mix yeast, warm water and sugar in a bowl and keep it in a warm place for 5 to 10 mins. When it turns frothy, add salt and oil into this. Combine the two flours into a mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour the yeast mixture into it and knead it well. If the dough is too sticky, rub a little oil in your hand and knead it again for 10 mins. Rub the dough with oil. Cover and keep it aside for 1 hr till it doubles in size. After 1 hr, slowly punch down the dough on a well floured surface. Knead it for a couple of mins. Place it in the loaf pan covered and keep it for another 45 mins. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C. Brush a little milk on the top of the bread and bake it for 30 mins. Take the bread from the oven and cover it with aluminium foil. Again bake it for 10 mins. Allow it to cool completely.
