Note: The scorch mark is from the hole in the aluminium foil being too large.

14 INGREDIENTS BREAD MIX

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

Wet ingredients:

  1. 1/2 cup fruit juice
  2. 2 cups water
  3. 1 dribble fermented salsa liquid

Mix well and place in a covered loaf pan to rise at 30 degrees Celsius optimally.
We use an esky with a 15 watt globe in cool weather.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
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.
