Not so long back I waxed lyrical about the wondrous qualities of milk loaf. Well this is just a wee update to let you know I tried changing the recipe to include wholemeal flour (I used the original recipe just swapping the flour weight for half white and half wholemeal) and it was a complete success, really light, soft bread with a pleasing nuttiness.

As I made them into rolls they didn’t have quite the keeping qualities of the milk loaf but that wasn’t a problem here, they were quickly gobbled up and a fresh batch requested

Great idea George! I’m all for ‘healthing’ up recipes in whatever way I can.

Interesting! I’ve never heard of it. Thanks for sharing
Georgina, those loaves look fantastic!!!
Bookmarked. Thanks — family members are always complaining about how my whole wheat breads are so dense and hard!
Thanks for stopping by and the lovely comments

Wonderful looking bread rolls George! Great idea of adding half & half flour
