RE: STEEMIT SANDWICH CONTEST #39 @Jaybird : ODE TO SPRING SANDWICH, A HEATHY SNACK CELEBRATING THE BEST OF SPRINGTIME
That bread wow! It all looks so fresh and nice. I really envy your garden. Is that where the saying "green with envy came from?" Envy for a garden of green haha. Your plates are always a pretty painting!
HahahahHaha, good one:-):-)
The bread is very simple to make, no machines needed, just a bowl, sieve and a spoon...since a lot of you liked it, here's the recipe:
Sift the two flours together in a bowl, add yeast and sugar, mix well, add salt and pour in the warm water gradually...just mix it well with a spoon, the dough needs to be very wet, almost like a thick batter, sticking to the bowl, add more water if necessary, no kneeding required. Cover and leave to proove until doubled in size (apx. 30-40 min).
Then make one loaf of a few small ones, I just scooped the dough onto a non stick tray with a spoon, make it flatter than normal buns, sift a bit of rye flour on top of each and cover. When the surface cracks - see photo below (about 15 min), bang it in a preheated oven (190 C).
A very IMPORTANT TIP for any bread baking is to put an ovenproof bowl or small baking dish with an inch of water in the bottom of the oven as you turn it on!!!! As it heats up, the steam created makes your bread rise nicely before forming a crust!!!!!!!
Bake until golden brown. The time depends on the size of the loaves, between 40-60 min, just trust your sense of smell, pierce it with a wooden scewer or tap it- if it sounds hollow, it's done!
Thanks!!! I have never worked with rye before. I love rye bread though. As soon as the oven here gets fixed I will try to sneak some bread making haha. I don't think I could achieve what you did. I will give it a shot someday.
Oh come on Carolyn, you give yourself way too little credit!i'm positive you'd bake some super delicious bread!
You're so nice haha!
