Struan

QN. What's this?


ANS. My attempt at Struan AKA breakfast loaf for the next two weeks.



Meh, there's bits of parchment paper stuck to it. I put in rice, some multigrain mix consisting of bran, oats and other nonsense stuff so it's pretty nice to eat (rice is still a little crunchy. note to self, cook longer next time). It was hellish to mix the dough because the recipe didn't ask for enough flour.... had to keep going a tablespoonful at a time until it could pass the windowpane test. I must have added nearly a cup more of WW flour!

Click here for the recipe, thanks to Google books for digitalizing this.

I think I should have left it to rise longer, it was more dense than my usual whole wheat bread. Oh well, there's always next time. Yesterday I forgot about the slice of struan sitting in the oven and I had black toast :(
