Whole wheat bread in Microwave

Have you ever noticed the ingredients of the whole wheat bread that you buy from the store. Many believe that they are having a healthy breakfast by replacing white bread with brown one. But it is often made with refined wheat flour, and the color comes from caramel.Or in most companies, they just add 20 % wheat flour, the remaining big chunk is still maida. So its always a good thing if you could make one at home. Yes it may not be as tasty as those you get from market. But you can rest assured that they are totally healthy. I am sharing here a recipe to make whole wheat bread in a microwave.  
Microwave whole wheat bread
Ingredients 
Whole wheat flour- 2 cups
Yeast- 2 teaspoons
Sugar-1 teaspoon
Water- lukewarm- 1/2 cup
Salt- 1/2 teaspoon
Oil- 1 tablespoon
Milk- 1/2 cup
Procedure
Dissolve sugar and yeast in half cup lukewarm water. Keep it aside to rise for about 10 minutes. In a vessel take flour and make a dough by adding the yeast mix to it. Also add salt, oil and milk while kneading. Make a soft dough.
Now keep this to rise for 3 hours. Cover the container well with a plastic cover. After 3 hours, knead the dough again and transfer to a greased microwave proof dish. Set the dough by leaving space from the sides of the dish. This allows room for the dough to puff up. Now cook on high power in microwave. To check if your bread is done try pricking with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, then your bread is done.


















Let it cool. Cut into slices and refrigerate. When warm, the texture won't be that perfect. But, after refrigerating, it becomes more crumbly.
