Easy Bread Baking

I want to know how I can bake Wheat Bread in my OTG?

I live in a small town where good commercially baked bread is not easy to come by, Pizza is unheard of and local bakers only make cookies and biscuits. I need a regular supply of good wheat bread.

I have made bread in an oven toaster.
It wasn't big enough to bake loaves, so I baked buns.
My toaster didn't have a temperature setting either, so I wrapped the bread in silver foil.

After the first ten minutes of baking, I wedged the oven door open a little, to reduce the temperature.

I used the following recipe.

If white bread is preferred replace the 2 cups of wholemeal flour with another 2 cups of plain flour.

Wholemeal bread

Combine a 7gm sachet of dried yeast with half a cup of warm water in a small bowl: stir in 1 teaspoon of caster sugar. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 5 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface.

Sift 2 cups of unbleached plain flower, and mix with 2 cups plain wholemeal flour, add 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons dried wholemilk powder and 1 tablespoon caster sugar into a large bowl.

Make a well in the centre, add yeast, quarter cup cooking oil and 1 cup warm water.

Using hands or large spoon, mix to a soft dough. Turn onto lightly floured surface, Knead ten minutes or until smooth and elastic. If needed incorporate up to half cup extra flour until dough is not sticky.

Place in large lightly oiled bowl. Leave, covered with a teatowel in a warm place for 1 hour or until well risen. Punch dough down, and knead for 1 minute.

Divide and shape into loaves or rolls. Leave covered with plastic wrap for 45 minutes or until well risen. Place in a tin which has been lightly oiled with butter or oil. Or mould into free-form shapes and place on a greased baking tray.

Bake in tins in a 210 degree C (Gas 190 c) oven for 10 minutes, lower heat to 180 c - bake an extra 30-40 minutes.

Bake free form loaves in a 210 c oven for 10 minutes - lower heat to180c and cook for 20-30 minutes. Cooking times will depend on size of loaves or rolls. To test for doneness, tap bottom of bread with knuckles. A hollow sound indicates bread is done.
Note. Dough is enough for 1 large, 2 medium or 3 small loaves, or 16-24 rolls.
If white bread is preferred replace the 2 cups of wholemeal flour with another 2 cups of plain flour.
