Wheat And Barley Bread Recipes

BARLEY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat a gas grill on low heat for at least 10 minutes.
• Lightly rub the sides and bottom of a 4 to 5-quart Dutch oven with canola oil and set aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, 1/4 cup oil, eggs and milk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared Dutch oven; do not cover with a lid. Place the Dutch oven on the grill and close the lid of the grill. Cook with the lid shut for 35 to 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 190 degrees F. Allow to cool in Dutch oven for at least 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.
• *Cook's note: For baking in a traditional oven, bake in a 350 degrees F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the bread reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees F.

WHEAT AND BARLEY BREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, soak grape nuts in buttermilk for 1 hour.
• In a large bowl, combine buttermilk mixture, sugar, salt, egg, and baking soda. Stir until sugar dissolves. Mix in the melted shortening and the flour. Pour batter into a greased and floured 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 45 minutes. Cool.

WHEAT AND FLAX BREAD

Steps:

• In 1-quart saucepan, heat milk, water and 1 tablespoon softened butter over medium heat to 120°F to 130°F (butter will not melt). In large bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour, the salt and yeast. Add milk mixture and honey. Beat with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Beat on medium speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Stir in whole wheat flour, oats, flaxseed and enough remaining all-purpose flour to make dough easy to handle.
• On lightly floured surface, knead dough about 5 minutes or until smooth and springy. Grease medium bowl with shortening or cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until double in size. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.
• Grease bottom and sides of 8x4-inch loaf pan with shortening or cooking spray. On lightly floured surface, roll dough into 12x8-inch rectangle. Roll up rectangle tightly, beginning at 8-inch side. Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal. Pinch each end of roll to seal; fold ends under loaf. Place seam side down in pan. Cover and let rise in warm place 45 to 60 minutes or until double in size.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Uncover loaf. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pan to cooling rack. Brush top of loaf with melted butter. Cool completely, about 2 hours.

BARLEY BREAD

Steps:

• Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
• Put the first three ingredients (yeast, 1/2 tsp brown sugar and 1/2 cup warm water) in a small bowl and mix well. Let the yeast bubble and foam.
• In a large bowl add 1 cup of the barley flour and the remaining 1/2 cup warm water. Mix together well.
• Add the 1 1/2 tsp brown sugar, the oil, and the salt and mix well.
• Add the yeast mixture and mix well.
• Add the bean flour and mix well.
• Add as much more barley flour as you need to make a kneadable dough (mine took the entire 1 more cup).
• Put some more barley flour down on a work surface and then knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
• Form 2 small balls and place them on the cookie sheet. Make a small cut in the tops of each.
• Let rise until doubled (mine did not get that big but I baked them after about 2 hours).
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 1 hour.

EASY WHOLE WHEAT MALTED BARLEY BREAD

Steps:

• 1) Take 100 grams of warm water, your sugar and yeast, and mix together. Set aside for 15 minutes in a lukewarm place. If the room temperature is cold, a heating pad may come in handy in your bread making. This is called "Proofing" the yeast. It will be ready once it starts to froth.
• 2) Divide your flour, milk , oil, salt and malted barley into two bowls in equal measurements. Add remaining 100g warm water in 1 bowl, and the 100g proof mixture into the other bowl. Knead each evenly.
• 3) After kneading both dough balls evenly, remove from bowls, clean those bowls and then line them with oil, and replace the balls into the two bowls. Let rest and rise for 4 hours. Again, if it's cold where you live, you may want to use a heating pad.
• 4) Knead both dough balls separately and replace in the bowls. Allow to rise for an additional hour.
• 5) Combine the dough together, kneading for about 5 minutes. Allow to rise for an additional hour. If you'd like a sourdough bread, allow it to rise longer. You can get an idea what the bread will be like by periodically (every few hours) tasting a small pinch of the bread.
• 6) When you're ready to bake, divide the dough into 2 long loaves, and bake in a preheated oven for 25-35 minutes or until hard on the outside. Do not overcook. A baking stone comes in handy.
• 7) Allow to cool. Enjoy your bread however you like. I slice it up and eat it as toast throughout the week. If however you don't plan on eating it immediately, be sure to store it in an airtight container otherwise it will get stale after 2-3 days.
