Cooking

sour dough, gluten etc. free, bread rolls

Note: Nice sliced in two and toasted

Need:
LARGE bowl (I use a light weight stainless steel one)

Ingredients:
1 packet 500grams Plain Orgran flour mix
1 cup buckwheat flour
1 cup polenta
1 cup urad flour
1/2 cup potato starch (makes bread lighter – fluffier)
1/2 cup tapioca starch (combining agent)
3 teaspoons non-iodised salt
2 Tablespoons LSA mix
2 Tablespoons Lecithin
— mix dry ingredients together —
3 huge gloops of sheep’s milk yoghurt
6 cups water
kefir dribble

Leave for however long it takes for the kefir to take effect (longer in winter that summer without central heating)
Scoop two ice-cream scoops full of the batter into each pie hole
Bake for 17 minutes in a 200 degree fan-forced oven or at 220 degrees in a conventional convection oven.

Dry ingredients mixed together first:

1. 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
2. 1/2 cup millet meal
3. 1 cup urad bean flour
4. 1 cup maize flour
5. 1/2 cup tapioca starch
6. 1 1/2 tsp salt

Mix well.

Then the not so dry ingredients:

7. 1/2 cup almond meal
8. 1 Tablespoon linseeds
9. 1 Tablespoon sunflower seeds
10. 1 Tablespoon pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
11. 1 tsp (rounded) caraway seeds or some other herbs or spices

Mix.

Wet ingredients:

12. 1/2 cup fruit juice
13. 2 cups water
14. 1 dribble kefir

Mix well.

Place in a covered loaf pan to rise at 30 degrees Celsius optimally.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

Bake for 40 minutes with a sheet of aluminium foil to cover and a hole or two to let the steam escape.

There was moisture on top, so I removed the foil and put the bread back in the oven on the lowest setting for five minutes.

Slice once it is cold.

Nicest toasted.

Verdict: Yum! Goes especially well with Anathoth jam (with no additives) which I found in one of our larger Woolworths Supermarkets (not my local one unfortunately).

We use an esky with a 15 watt globe in cool weather.

Bake for 40 minutes with a sheet of aluminium foil to cover and a hole to let the steam escape.

The texture is very nice, but too sour with the salsa ferment, must try with the kefir ferment next time.
