Imagine this... The smell ofWhole Wheat Bread filling the air as it bakes in your oven. Breaking off a piece of that crust while it's still hot, slathering it in the most deliciousEasy Vegan Butter. Devouring it.

Easy Cinnamon Bread (no Yeast)

Now before panic sets in, bread and yeast does not have to be scary. So many people are daunted by it and it's such a shame because baking bread and eating the result, is one of life's true pleasures and it really isn't difficult. There really is nothing better than tucking into a loaf of warm, freshly baked bread that you, yes YOU, made all by yourself!

So many of you have made my No Knead Focaccia Breadand everyone starts off being sceptical of it. They think it can't possibly work because it is so incredibly easy. But it does. Every. Single. Time.

This EasyWhole Wheat Bread is a little step up from that, in that it takes a little more effort. But it's really not much more especially if you own a stand mixer.

But, if you don't have a stand mixer, don't worry because you can knead the dough by hand and get exactly the same result. You just need to use a bit more elbow grease! Think of the extra calories you will burn. That equals more bread that you can eat!

I bake bread 2 or 3 times every week and have tried many, many loaf pans. My favourite by far is this one from USA Pans (not sponsored or anything, I just love it!):

I have been using it for about 2 years now and it still looks brand new and yeast bread and banana bread etc never, ever stick. I wipe a tiny bit of oil over it with kitchen paper and whatever I am baking slides right out so easily.

I call this loaf a Light Whole Wheat Bread because it uses a combination of white flour and whole wheat flour. By doing this you get a much softer, lighter loaf. It's a great beginner's easywhole wheat bread.

If you use a greater ratio of whole wheat flour your loaf won't be as light and fluffy. By making lighter whole wheat bread, it becomes more family-friendly too. Children don't tend to like the taste of 100% whole wheat bread but this one is much milder in flavour and I have never had any problems getting my son to eat it.

Success Tips - As with all of my baking recipes where precision is key to excellent results, I highly recommend using a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients, rather than using cup measurements. I lovethis onebecause it is

Sugar Free Homemade Zucchini Bread

Reasonably priced and it has a tare function which is really handy. It means you can place any bowl on the scale and reset to zero so it doesn’t include the weight in its the calculation, plus you can reset to zero when adding multiple ingredients to the same bowl which saves on washing up!

Despite the common myth, the addition of sugar to bread dough is not necessary. There are enough natural sugars in the flour to feed the yeast and get a good result. That is why I do not include any in this recipe. 

Oil or vegan butter makes the crumb softer and also acts as a preservative. If you don't add any your bread will have be crustier and it won't keep as long before going stale.

WATER - The amount of water when making bread is always variable. The brand of flour you use, the time of year it is, how warm your house is, all affect the absorbency. Once the dough comes together, it should be slightly tacky if you poke it with a finger but not really sticky. If it is really sticky add a little more flour very gradually. You shouldn't need much more, just a few tablespoons at most.

The water should be just tepid or luke warm. It can also be cold. It should not be hot as it will kill the yeast. If your water is cold it just means the bread will take a little longer to rise.

Oil-free - You can omit the oil from this recipe. The bread will be crustier, won't be quite as soft and it won't keep as long. Oil acts as a softener and a preservative. 

Storage - Store in an airtight container or plastic bag for up to 3 days. This bread also freezes well for up to 3 months.

How To Make Bread From Scratch

I adapted this recipe from my favorite Healthy Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips. Like the banana bread, this low-calorie pumpkin bread is also low in fat and super moist, thanks to Greek yogurt and the natural moisture of the pumpkin itself.

For the white whole wheat flour, you can substitute whole wheat pastry flour, all-purpose flour, or a blend. Regular whole wheat flour can also be used, though the bread will have a heavier texture and a more pronounced wheat taste.

You can substitute vanilla Greek yogurt for the plain, though the bread will be a bit sweeter. I have not tested the bread with regular yogurt (which is thinner), so I recommend sticking with the Greek.

Gummy pumpkin bread is usually underbaked. For best results, invest in an instant-read thermometer and don’t pull your bread until it reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees F. If the top is getting too brown, tent with foil until the internal temperature is reached.

No. Wheat flour and almond flour behave very, very differently in recipes so you typically cannot make a 1:1 swap in recipes without altering other ingredients. Check out my recipe for Paleo Pumpkin Bread or Almond Flour Pumpkin Muffins instead.
