🍞 BakeNBite Healthy Chickpea Bread — 1kg Flour
Ingredients
Whole wheat flour — 750g
Chickpea flour — 250g
Brown sugar — 60g
Instant yeast — 15g
Salt — 15g
Oil — 50ml
Milk powder — 30g (optional; omit for dairy-free)
Bread improver — 10g (optional)
Water — 650–700ml, added gradually
Sesame/sunflower/pumpkin seeds — 30–50g (optional)
Method
Combine the wheat flour, chickpea flour, sugar, yeast, milk powder and bread improver.
Add about 80% of the water and begin mixing.
Add salt and oil, then gradually add the remaining water.
Knead until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Allow to ferment for 45–60 minutes.
Divide and shape into loaves.
Put into greased loaf pans and proof for 30–45 minutes.
Brush lightly with water and sprinkle seeds on top if desired.
Bake at 180°C for about 30–40 minutes, depending on loaf size.
Remove from the pans and cool completely before slicing and packaging.
📦 Expected yield
From 1kg total flour, you can expect approximately 1.5–1.7kg baked bread, depending on water loss during baking.
^Commercial tip: Chickpea flour absorbs quite a lot of water. Don't add all the water at once—adjust gradually until you get a soft, workable dough.
