25% Wholemeal, 75% strong bread flour, allspice, cucumber sandwiches.

Tin loaf with diagonal expansion scores in the top that did not expand very much.

450 g strong white bread flour
150 g wholemeal flour
390 g water (65% hydration)
12 g salt
7 g instant yeast
1 g ground allspice (pimento)

Mix all the ingredients and knead until it makes a somewhat elastic dough. The bran in the wholemeal means that it can never be as smooth as all white flour. Eight minutes kneading was enough for this.
Leave to rise in a very lightly oiled, covered bowl until doubled in size.
Tip out, knock back and shape into a log to fit a 9×5" tin. I line mine with baking parchment because the nonstick is disastrously shot, but if your tin is good that may not be required.
Leave to rise until almost doubled again.  
Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C / 425°F / gm7 for 45–50 minutes. Same loaf, sliced.Full on the cut end showing a tight dense and even crumb of light brown bread
Slices assembled into cucumber sandwiches, stacked, cut in half and turned to present the cut edges to the camera.
