Preparation of multigrain bread witch coconut oil

Mix the bread mix with the other ingredients by hand or in the bread machine. Only use the kneading/proving programme on your bread maker so that you can leave it to rise for four hours. This will enable more phytanic acid to be broken down. Place the dough in the spring-form tin or craft your own loaf shape by hand. Bake the bread for about 45 minutes in an oven pre-heated to 150 degrees.

Tip from Rineke:

In the supermarkets, you often find breads and bread mixes that are very dark brown in appearance. You may well think the darker the healthier. Unfortunately, this type of bread often contains flour and has been darkened using caramel sugar. Make sure you always read the packaging.
