Whole wheat bread
Hey everyone!
I just baked my second loaf of whole wheat bread using my Panasonic SD-YR2550 on the dedicated whole wheat program.
Taste-wise, I’m really happy with how it turned out—it tastes great! However, visually, it looks a bit sad and could definitely use some improvement (the crust/shape isn't quite there yet).
Since whole wheat can be a bit tricky, I wanted to ask the experts here: Do you have any tips or tweaks to make the loaves look as good as they taste? Should I adjust the water ratio, yeast, or maybe try a different setting?
For context, I followed the standard recipe from the manual. Any advice on how to get a better rise or a nicer crust in this specific machine would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
