One measure of red wheat, ( about 2 cups ) grind it in a grain grinder, or blender, until it becomes flour. One measure of Rhy grain, ( about 2 cups ) and grind it into rhy flour the same way as with the red wheat. Set your yeast to rise, ( about 1 teaspoon ) in a little warm water, with some sugar. When the yeast becomes a sponge, mix it into the red wheat, ( wheat only ) with added water, then knead it for a minute or two. Put the wheat dough into a deep pan, and add in the rhy flour, knead again, and keep adding water, until it is a wet dough. Add salt, and extra virgin olive oil, then knead the wet dough with one hand in the deep pan. Pour/place the dough into oiled bread pans, let rise in a warm place ( about a third), and bake in the oven at 375 F for about 1 hour. The recipe will make one huge loaf, or two small ones. xxx A last note: You must knead the wheat separate.... from both the rhy , and the olive oil !! This to give the gluten in the wheat flour maximum ability to rise. I have been making this bread for 20 years, and it is an excellent, nourishing hearty health food. |
