How can I make my wholemeal bread rise better?

One trick is to add some white all-purpose flour along with the whole wheat flour. Even just a little white flour has enough gluten to give the dough better structure. White and whole wheat flour can be substituted one-to-one, so just play with the ratio of the two until you end up with a loaf you like.

Does a stand mixer knead dough?

You can knead most bread doughs by hand or in a stand mixer (we’ll show each technique in detail below). While hand kneading can be a gratifying process, we recommend using a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment for this task.

Should dough stick to dough hook?

When the dough climbs up the hook, that is typically an indication that the kneading is complete. A sticky dough will tend to climb the dough hook and even climb over the collar of the dough hook. Dough that contains eggs tends to be stickier and climb the hook more easily.

Does wholemeal flour need more yeast?

The reason for this is simple: whole wheat flour contains more nutrients for the yeast to feed on than white flour. If you are not prepared for this it is easy to over ferment your dough.
