Whole wheat bread recipe that is not sweet?

I am planning to buy a bread maker to make my own whole wheat bread that is not sweet. I am looking for recipes that do not use honey or sugar.


Thank you very muchWhole wheat bread recipe that is not sweet?
There is sugar in this recipe, but you can miss it out. It's for making without a machine - it makes fantastic bread.





Wholemeal bread





Combine a 7gm sachet of dried yeast with half a cup of warm water in a small bowl: stir in 1 teaspoon of caster sugar. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 5 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface.





Sift 2 cups of unbleached plain flower, and mix with 2 cups plain wholemeal flour, add 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons dried wholemilk powder and 1 tablespoon caster sugar into a large bowl.





Make a well in the centre, add yeast, quarter cup cooking oil and 1 cup warm water.





Using hands or large spoon, mix to a soft dough. Turn onto lightly floured surface, Knead ten minutes or until smooth and elastic. If needed incorporate up to half cup extra flour until dough is not sticky.





Place in large lightly oiled bowl. Leave, covered with a teatowel in a warm place for 1 hour or until well risen. Punch dough down, and knead for 1 minute.





Divide and shape into loaves or rolls. Leave covered with plastic wrap for 45 minutes or until well risen. Place in a tin which has been lightly oiled with butter or oil. Or mould into free-form shapes and place on a greased baking tray.





Bake in tins in a 210 degree C (Gas 190 c) oven for 10 minutes, lower heat to 180 c - bake an extra 30-40 minutes.





Bake free form loaves in a 210 c oven for 10 minutes - lower heat to180c and cook for 20-30 minutes. Cooking times will depend on size of loaves or rolls. To test for doneness, tap bottom of bread with knuckles. A hollow sound indicates bread is done.


Note. Dough is enough for 1 large, 2 medium or 3 small loaves, or 16-24 rolls.


If white bread is prefered replace the 2 cups of wholemeal flour with another 2 cups of plain flour.Whole wheat bread recipe that is not sweet?
