Whole wheat bread is a main item in the menu now a days, for breakfast or for evening snack or even for dinner in every busy house, right? But do you think what we are buying from shops are worth to eat? I had listened to many news and reports saying the bread we bought from shops are including many ingredients which are harmful to our lives. So all types of bread items stepped away from my home. Then i thought to prepare bread at home and searched and tried many recipes. Thus i got a perfect whole wheat bread recipe, which is easy to prepare and tasty too. Today, we are going to prepare the same whole wheat bread in our kitchen. Let's start?

Instant yeast - 1 teaspoon (if you have dry active yeast, use 1/2 teaspoon)
Salt - 1 teaspoon
Sugar - 1 to 2 tablespoon
Ghee/ oil / Butter - 2 tablespoon
Curd / Dahi / Yogurt - 2 tablespoon ( you can replace this with vinegar 1.5 tablespoon)
Warm water - 1 to 1 1/2 cup
Milk - for brushing the top of the bread

If you are using instant yeast, you can follow the following steps of preparation.
> In a big mixing bowl, take flour, instant yeast, salt, sugar, butter/oil/ghee, curd and mix well with hand
