Kibble Bread

Kibble bread is a wholesome, wholegrain loaf made with Wholemeal flour and kibble wheat, also known as first-break wheat. Kibble wheat is simply cracked whole wheat. It adds texture and fibre. It also provides a gentle nutty flavour without making the bread heavy. Other great flavour is Bran Bread to try next.

This bread is designed for everyday use. It slices cleanly and toasts well. It provides substance without density. This makes it a practical choice for sandwiches, breakfast toast, or simple meals. Also our Health Bread is also a delicious staple.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g Bakers flour
  • 250 g Wholemeal flour
  • 150 g Kibble wheat (First break)
  • 8 g Salt
  • 5 g Bread improver
  • 35 g Yeast
  • 300 -350 ml Water approximately

Instructions
 

1️⃣ Mix the dry ingredients

  • Place the bakers flour, wholemeal flour, kibble wheat, salt, and bread improver into a bowl.
    Mix well to combine evenly.

2️⃣ Add yeast and water

  • Add the yeast, then gradually pour in the water.
    Mix until a soft dough forms.
    The dough should feel slightly firmer than white bread but still pliable.

3️⃣ Knead the dough

  • Turn onto the bench and knead for 8–10 minutes until:
    Smooth
    Elastic
    Soft, with visible grain texture

4️⃣ First rise

  • Place dough into a lightly oiled bowl.
    Cover and leave in a warm place for 60–75 minutes, until doubled in size.

5️⃣ Knock back

  • Gently press out the air.
    This evens the crumb and strengthens structure.

6️⃣ Shape

  • Shape into a loaf.
    Place into a greased tin or onto a lined tray.

7️⃣ Second rise

  • Cover and allow to rise for 35–45 minutes, until well risen.

8️⃣ Bake

  • Preheat oven to 210°C (fan 190°C).
    Bake for 35–40 minutes, until:
    Golden brown
    Firm crust
    Hollow sound when tapped underneath

🔟 Cool

  • Cool completely on a rack before slicing.
    Grain breads slice best once fully cooled.

Ready to use

  • Kibble bread is ideal for:
    Sandwiches
    Toast
    Everyday meals
    High-fibre diets

Mark’s bench-side advice

  • Dense loaf? Dough too dry — add a little more water next time.
    Dry crumb? Grain not hydrated enough — allow full fermentation time.
    Poor rise? Dough too cool — wholegrain breads need warmth.
    Kibble bread is about texture, nourishment, and balance — solid bread you can rely on.
