Ingredients
  

  • 1¾ Cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ Cup warm water
  • ⅓ Cup sugar
  • 2¼ teaspoon active dry yeast or instant yeast
  • ¾ Cup warm milk
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoon vanilla custard powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Cup tutti frutti
  • 1 tablespoon milk for milk wash
  • 1 teaspoon melted butter (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, take sugar and warm water. Add yeast.
  • Mix everything lightly with a spoon or fork. Cover the bowl with a clean and dry kitchen towel and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, when the yeast mixture is frothy and bubbly, add butter, milk, tutti frutti, and salt into the yeast mixture. Mix well.
  • Now add vanilla custard powder, one cup of whole wheat flour, and one cup of all-purpose flour and keep mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  • Add remaining all-purpose flour gradually as needed. Do not add too much flour at once. The dough will come together, but at this point, it will be very soft and sticky.
  • Take some flour onto a clean surface and place dough onto it.
  • Knead the dough with your palm and take some more flour if needed.
  • Continue kneading until the dough is soft but not sticky. The dough should be smooth, soft, and supple.
  • Do not add too much flour; if the dough is stiff, the bread will be dry and crumbly.
  • If dough continues to stick, grease your palm with oil and then bring the dough together.
  • Lightly grease a large bowl with oil and transfer the dough into it. Also, apply oil all over the dough to prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel. And let the dough rise until it doubles in size for about an hour to 1 & ½ hours.
  • Once the dough is double in size, lightly punch it to release the air.
  • Lightly flour the clean working surface and transfer the dough on it.
  • Roll the dough into a thick and large rectangle about 8 inches long, then roll it up and make a log.
  • Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with oil and place the log into this loaf pan.
  • Cover the loaf pan loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel.
  • Let it rise until doubled, for about an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • When you are ready to bake the bread, apply milk with a pastry brush on the top of the bread. Give a milk wash very gently and lightly.
  • Bake the bread for 32 - 38 minutes or until golden brown on the top. Remove from the oven and immediately brush the top of the loaf with melted butter.
  • If the bread starts browning too much on the top after 20-25 minutes, take it out of the oven and loosely cover it with aluminum foil. Place it back into the oven and continue baking for the remaining time. I had to cover it with aluminum foil after 22 minutes of baking time.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing.
  • This bread will stay at room temperature for up to 4 days and longer in the fridge.
  • Enjoy the tutti frutti bread with butter, jam, or as it is with a cup of tea or coffee.

Notes

  1. All-Purpose Flour: The quantity of all-purpose flour we need may vary depending on the flour. After adding whole wheat flour, we may need 1 & ½ cups to 2 cups of all-purpose flour. Initially, add one cup of whole wheat flour and one cup of all-purpose flour. Then add the remaining flour gradually and as required.
