    BM# 68-Cooking Carnival: Day 2
    Theme for Week 1: Recipes using Ancient Grains flour blend
    Dish: Ancient Grains Sourdough Bread

    I was planning to make this bread for the Bread Bakers group few months ago. But since the clause was to use only ancient grains, I saved it for later. I made this bread couple of weeks ago and it turned out great.

    Sourdough Bread with Ancient Grains flour

    We as a family are not into rustic breads that are crusty and chewy. We like soft breads, so even though I wanted to try this bread from King Arthur website, I wasn't really sure if everyone would like it. But I shouldn't have worried, the bread had a soft, moist interior with a tender crumb.

    King Arthur's original recipe was written to be made in a covered baker, but I don't have a baker, so baked the bread on a parchment lined baking sheet, may be that's why it didn't get golden brown on top. Still it was flavorful with a subtle nutty/ earthy flavor from the ancient grains flour. We ate it as a toast and I also made some grilled cheese sandwich with it.

    Course: breads
    Cuisine: American
    Servings: 1 loaf

    Ingredients

    • 1¼ cups Bread flour
    • 1 cup Wholewheat flour
    • ½ cup flour Ancient grains (homemade or store-bought)
    • ½ cup Potato flour (or 1cup Instant potato flakes)
    • 2 tsps Yeast Instant
    • 2 tsps Salt
    • 1 cup Sourdough Starter, fed or unfed
    • 1 cup Water Lukewarm
    • 2 tbsps Honey

    Instructions

    • Combine all the ingredients (recipe for homemade ancient grains flour is here) in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of the stand mixer. Mix and knead to make a smooth dough. Dough might be a little sticky, but if it holds its shape, then no need to add more flour.
    • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover and let rise for 1½~2 hours, until noticeably puffy, though not doubled in volume.
    • If you have a covered baker, then gently deflate the dough and shape it into a log and place it in lightly greased baker. Put the lid and allow to rise until it crests 1" over the rim of the pan, about 1½~2 hours.
    • I didn't have a covered baker, so I shaped the dough into a log and placed it on a parchment lined baking sheet. Covered and let it rise for 1½~2 hours.
    • Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F.
    • Bake the bread for 35~45 minutes or until the interior registers 190°F on a digital thermometer.
    • Remove from the oven onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before slicing.

      Such a wonderful bread that is!! I have been wanting to explore sourdough but I am so scared. Bookmarking this for whenever I am bold enough to foray into that region!

      Sourdough is definitely something I need to learn the ropes soon, for now working with yeast seems satisfying.. But I know sourdough is the real 'deal' maker at a bread enthusiast's table...

      i am the only one who enjoys rustic breads at home...for me the way they look, sourdough with ancient flour is very interesting, i would also wonder the effect of adding seeds and nuts and some rolled oats in here

      Somehow the sourdough idea is intimidating to me. 🙂 The bread has an authentic rustic look.
