Provided by Harmonica

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     Sourdough Bread Recipes

Time 5h20m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup water
½ cup quinoa
1 ½ cups sourdough starter
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 teaspoon water, or as needed
⅛ cup rolled oats

Steps:

  • Bring 1 cup water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Whisk sourdough starter, milk, honey, olive oil, yeast, and salt together in a large bowl. Add cooked quinoa and mix until incorporated. Add flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition to form long strands of gluten.
  • Knead dough for 10 minutes, adding more flour as needed to make dough workable. Set bowl on the counter, cover with a cloth, and let rise until doubled in size, 2 to 4 hours.
  • Punch dough down, shape into 2 loaves, and place into well greased and floured baking pans. Wet tops of loaves slightly and press oats into the surface. Cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 2 to 4 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until loaves sound hollow when you tap on the surface, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit in pans for 5 to 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use a digital scale to accurately measure your ingredients, as this will ensure consistent results.
  • If you don't have a sourdough starter, you can make your own using a simple recipe. Instructions can be found online or in sourdough bread cookbooks.
  • Be patient with the rising process. Sourdough bread takes longer to rise than traditional yeast breads, so don't be discouraged if it takes several hours or even overnight.
  • To create a crispy crust, place a Dutch oven or baking dish in the oven while it preheats. Once the dough is shaped, place it in the preheated Dutch oven or baking dish and cover it. This will trap the steam and help to create a crispy crust.
  • To check if the bread is done, insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If not, continue baking for a few more minutes.

Conclusion:

With a little planning and patience, you can easily make delicious and nutritious honey wheat sourdough bread at home. This bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoying with a pat of butter. So next time you're in the mood for some homemade bread, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
