Wholemeal Bran Breads

I invented these breads at the request of a mother to make something healthy and comfortable to eat for her 2-year-old baby. So I thought that these breads would be comfortable to hold in hand, to be portioned, and I experimented along the way with various additions - various ground seeds, oatmeal, raisins, etc.

But the base is on wholemeal and bran flour, very good and healthy - I've been making them for about a year now and I'm starting to not make simple bread anymore. So portioned exactly for a meal, or a craving for something baked - they are perfect, better than any bread.

And mix the dough well with a larger spoon or spatula.

Add a little more wholemeal flour if you see that it is a bit liquid and sticky.

Do not put it all at once, so as not to make the dough too hard.
