delicious wholemeal bread without yeast

Line a loaf pan with baking paper. Weigh all ingredients, place everything in a mixing bowl, and stir until a sticky dough forms. Pour the dough into the lined loaf pan, then sprinkle the surface with grains, seeds, or nuts as desired. Fill a baking tray with approximately 100 ml of water (+-) and place it on the floor of the oven. The steam generated during baking will give the bread volume and a shiny surface. Place the loaf pan on an oven rack (bottom shelf). Set the oven to 190°C (top/bottom heat) and bake the bread for 1 hour plus 15-20 minutes. Let the bread cool on a rack. For a nice crust, the bread can be baked for another 15 minutes without the loaf pan. Of course, you can also bake the bread with yeast instead of baking powder. In this case, you only need 1/2 a yeast cube and 10 g of sugar. Dissolve the yeast as usual and add it to the dough. Note: This bread was created in an emergency because I didn’t have any yeast in the house. Unfortunately, I was craving more bread, so I decided to try it with baking powder.
