| North African Delight Kamut BreadThis whole grain bread is tasty and light. Sponge: 1 2/3 cups Freshly ground kamut flour
1 1/3 cups warm spring water
1/2 cups starter
Mix until it has a batter consistency
Leave in a nice warm place until it is nice and bubbly
(about 2-4 hours depending on your starter)
For real sour bread, let sit for a whole day
but beware, whole grain gets sour real quick! Dough:
Add the following to the above sponge:
2 cups freshly ground whole hard white wheat flour
3/4 cups unbleached, high gluten white bread flour
1 1/2 tsp salt Mix until it becomes a dough, then knead for at least 7-10 minutes Let sit covered in a bowl until doubled or tripled in size Knead briefly again and shape into
a round loaf. Let proof until it doubles in size Bake:
Pre-heat oven to 400 F
slash top
Bake for 50 minutes Let cool on a rack.
To let the flavor develop, wait at least a few hours before slicing.
