BBD #13 - Amaranthbread
 |
The BBD #13 is hosted by Jude from Apple Pie, Patis & Pâté and the theme is 100% Whole Grains. After a long search for a new (for me) reciepe a had a look in many of my numerous bread baking books. I like to bake breads with some special ingredients and I love the flavour from amaranth. So my contribution is a bread with amaranth. Still it's to fresh I will cut it tomorrow and complete this entry with a additional photo from a slice of the bread and a description of the taste.

Directions
1. Bring amaranth and water to boil, boil 10 minutes on low heat. Let the mixture soak on the switched-off plate.
2. Stir yeast and honey into the water and put it aside for 15 minutes.
3. Mix the flours and salt in a bowl, made a mould and pour the yeast mixture in. Stir a tsp flour into. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
4. Stir milk, butter and cooked amaranth in the dough. Put the dough onto a work surface and knead with the hands for 10 minutes or 5 minutes in a food processor. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let the dough rest until doubled in volume.
5. Preheat the oven to 250°C.
6. Form the dough to a ball, put it on a greased baking sheet. Let it rest for 10 minutes. For the decoration put a drinking glass in the middle of the ball, cut the loaf radial 8 times, remove the glass.
7. Put the baking sheet on the middle rack in the oven, bake 10 minutes at 250°C, 35 minutes at 180°C.
=====
Now I cut the bread and it tastes wonderful, a little bit nuttily and someway indescribable.
The crumb is soft and moist. I tried it with cheddar cheese and this was a perfect combination.
