Bread recipe!!

[lavender1]

Does anyone know of a bread recipe that works? Children and I have put together 500g of Wholemeal flour, 250g of strong white flour, tsp salt, 5 tbsp Olive oil and mixed with 450ml of water and pre-prepared yeast....ie. 1 tsp sugar, 25g yeast and 150ml warm water and left to froth....although this sounds okay it is 2 recipes mixed together and am not sure if this is the right way....dough is now huge....but do I have to put it into a bread tin or loose....and do I have to leave it overnight??....and we kneaded it for about 10 minutes (with dd shouting at it as I told her to take out all her tension on it) would be really pleased to hear of bread recipes that are working....cheersxx

anyone??

from the lack of response I take it that you are very confident with making bread, we are not all confident..I'll perservere but could do with some advice

Knead again and put in 2x1lb tins or freestyle!! and leave to rise again for about 30-60mins under a damp t-towel. Cook for 30-40mins, 200C. You'll know if its cooked if it sounds hollow when you tap the bottom. Couldnt advise re measurements.... I'd have to go check my books but I know that this is a big batch!! My bread machine takes just 500g flour for a large size loaf.

just made some today by my aunts recipe and it worked out , plus it has no yeast and it rose!

12oz wholemeal flour and 8oz strong bread flour (i used allison country grain), level tsp of bread soda, handful of nuts should you desire, or wheatgerm, some bran (not too much as it makes bread dense) , 3/4 pint of buttermilk and dollop of olive oil.
heat oven to 200 then reduce to 180, takes just over an hour.
just mix altogether - it will be quite wet going into the loaf tin but thats ok.
