I've
previously said I didn't like the way Vogel's bread has deteriorated, despite their label claims of "original recipe".
I have found a few reasonable replacements (e.g. Fitness Loaf from Kilbirnie German Bakery)
but in the end I got the Breadmaker out, and made my own.
This is the recipe I have settled on:
My Machine-assisted Vogels SubstituteKibble porridge in a pot:Up to 200 ml of Kibbles in a pot, I use:
50-100 ml Kibbled Wheat
50 ml Kibble Rye
50-100 ml Buckwheat Groats
200 ml Water
Put kibbles into a pot with 200 ml water & bring to boil for 1 minute.
This makes a porridge, to add to the mix with the water & oil.
In a Breadmaker:7 ml Granular Yeast (not sure-bake)
350 ml Wholemeal Four
150 ml White Flour
5 ml Sugar
10 ml Salt
30 ml Skim Milk Powder
30 ml Gluten Flour (optional)
* add kibbles “porridge” here
250 ml Water
20 ml Olive Oil
Place ingredients in order of recipe into the Breadmaker.
Set breadmaker to your equivalent of a wholemeal, dough.
(this should mean aprox. 2 hours duration for first knead, rise, & second knead.)
My breadmaker gives a "beep" at 15 minutes (after the first knead),
and I add a fistful of sunflower seeds.
When the breadmaker has finished (after second knead),
tip from breadmaker & work very lightly to place into an oiled bread tin.
Allow to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
Bake at 200°C in a pre-heated oven for 40 minutes.
Tip from tin onto a rack & don't cut it till its cool!
EDIT: If you don't want to use a Breadmaker machine ...

Anyone tried it?? Kiwi living abroad - this could solve all my bread cravings!!
I made this last week and it is the closest thing to Vogels I have had since coming to the US - I am very excited!
The only things I changed were using all Kibbled Wheat (I could only find Cracked Wheat but I think it's the same thing), and I used 1 Tbsp of gluten flour instead of 2.
Also, I made the entire thing in the breadmaker, so baked it in there as well. I have a Panasonic and used the regular Bread setting (not wholewheat) and set it for a medium loaf with a medium crust (4 hours total). I will start experimenting with different grains and crusts, but this is a great recipe. Thanks!
Been living in Canada for a couple of years an have always enjoyed making my own bread. I miss vogels so much it brings tears to my eyes. Can't wait to give this a go. I'm off to the supermarket RIGHT NOW :) I'll thank you now for the recipe and again later if it's good :)
I couldn't find all the right ingredients at my local, and I made it by hand not in a bread maker. So it wasn't perfect. But delicious none-the-less and my non new Zealand room mates love it... But then they've never had the real thing. :). Thanks for the recipe. I'll find all the right bits and bobs and give it another go!
Well I tried this with all the ingredients listed but baked in a breadmaker on wholewheat setting. I'm from New Zealand and this tastes nothing like Vogels. Its ok as a multigrain bread but Vogels its not!
Hi there, why is everything in ml not grams? what is 350 ml of flour - do you mean a cup and a half or do you mean 350 gm which is substantially more. I measured 350 gm of wholemeal flour and it is about 600 ml in my plastic jug. Yet 5 ml of sugar 1 tsp is about 5 gm. I'm confused. I have all the ingredients to make tomorrow and am not sure what to do. Most loaves of bread use about 500 gm flour. Similarly I weighed out the porridge in gm but it is more like 250 ml volume. What to do ?what do do? please advise. Rgds sarah@454.net.nz
I have a science/engineering background, so I don't use traditional cooking measurements
I prefer to use volume measurements (ml) only, not weights, because it's easier; and kitchen scales are usually very inaccurate.
I have more faith in 250 millilitres than "a cup" as it is consistent and repeatable, whereas "a cup" varies in interpretation.
The only place where a volumetric measure could get you into trouble is with the flour, seeing as it is capable of packing down, but if you fill your measuring device in the same way you would fill a "cup" with flour, I suggest that these measures are more likely to be repeatable.
Thank you for taking an interest in the recipe, and I wish you luck. And please, experiment with it!
Hello, I didn't follow your recipe exactly, but pretty near. I used a Kenwood Chef mixer with dough hook. I used the quantities you gave and divided into two loaf tins. However, for two loaves, I'll be trying to increase the recipe by about 30% I might as well get two loaves at the same time. - the bread was very very good, and got much praise from two critical family member -. Your way of making a "porridge" to soften the kibble is brilliant. (I got caught out by measuring in grams first, and not mis) I will experiment a wee bit, and convert to grams, as my scales are very accurate and I am used to this means of measuring, but thanks for your explanation.
