Wholemeal Bread with Nuts and Raisin



I have made this bread 3 times since I had my thermomix, it has rekindled my love to bread making again. I used to have a bread maker but it took up too much countertop space in the kitchen and the low bread consumption rate do not quite justified the effort, since the thermomix come with kneading function, why not? so all my homemade jams and nutella has something to spread on!
There are plenty of recipe that make soft fluffy bread, but I like healthier, rustic, heavy loft, they are best toasted!



Ingredients:
Wholemeal flour 1c
Bread flour 1 c
Warm water 1/2 c (120g)
Olive oil 2tbsp (20g)
Yeast 1-1/2 tsp (10g)
Honey 2tbsp (20g)
Salt 1/4tsp
Nut n raisin (120g)
(add 1small egg to have a softer texture) optional


Methods:
1. Put all ingredient into the TM bowl
2. Mix at speed4 for 30sec
3. Knead for 4min and leave in TM bowl to rise 40-50min or till double
4. Take out to shape and leave it to rise again in the oven with a glass of hot water at the bottom
5. bake at 170 for 20min

Eat fresh or store in fridge up to a month, toast it whenever you feel like having a slice!
