I've previously tried Gilchester wholemeal flour but have been disappointed. This time I made 12 rolls:
500g Gilchester Organics 100% whole wheat strong flour
300g Marriage's Organic Strong white flour
200g Marriage's Organic Strong stoneground wholemeal flour
2g Dove's Farm Quick Yeast
14g table salt
16g unsalted butter
16g soft brown sugar
635g warm water
The water was heated in the microwave for 1 minute at 1000W taking it to about 30C. This was all mixed and then kneaded for about 5 minutes. Then into a plastic container, covered and left in the kitchen at room temperature overnight - this is why so little yeast is needed. The dough more than doubled in size in this time. The next morning I divided the dough into 12 rolls, put on greased and floured baking sheets and left to prove at 30C for one and a half hours. In this time they rose and started touching one another. Then baked for 15 minutes at 220C (fan).
The result has been a success with nicely shaped rolls. Mixing the Gilchester flour with some stronger flour has worked nicely.
