breads

I bake this bread quite often recently, because it is tasty and nutritious, and, most importantly, very simple to prepare and doesn't require too much time, which will certainly please those who are always busy :) The amount of sourdough was checked by me several times - if I added less sourdough, the bread didn't rise enough. If I added more sourdough, the bread was too wet.

Cornflour sourdough is my first gluten-free sourdough and it went well the first time. The recipe is very simple and doesn't require a lot of energy or time. It's really worth spending a while every day to make your own sourdough and to bake your own bread.

I recommend this buckwheat bread as a stepping stone from the bread bought in a store, especially when you want to limit gluten or are on a gluten-free diet. The grated apple added to the bread will keep it moist for longer. You can add your favourite grains – I added linseed and sunflower seeds. Active fiber is an optional ingredient.

Recently, as a stepping stone from sourdough bread, buckwheat bread and buckwheat flakes bread, I also bake pearl barley bread. Unfortunately, it has caused a lot of grief to prepare this bread, because I did not always succeed – I added too much water, did not cover the dough with a dishcloth, I added dried onions into the dough or added some fresh water, because I had poured out all the water the grains were soaked in, and all this stopped the bread from rising and didn’t have the proper structure after baking. Grrr! Today I present the final version of the recipe with the dried onion on top instead of inside the bread.

I suggest combining the pearl barley bread with savoury additions, so, plum jam is rather out of the question this time.

Buckwheat flakes bread is nutritious, tasty, filling and ideal, especially for breakfast or brunch, because it will give you a lot of energy for the whole day. Super fast and super easy to prepare, you don't have to wait until it rises, you don't have to wait for the sourdough, which usually needs a few days to be ready – unless you have it ready – and the most important thing: it always succeeds. It is also worth mentioning that the ispaghula husk included in the bread is very healthy and has a lot of healing properties.

I bake buckwheat flakes bread once a month as a stepping stone from sourdough bread and buckwheat bread and eat especially with plum jam and in the company of hot cocoa. Yummy!
