Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 370 grams hard white wheat berries, (freshly milled)
  • 200 ml warm water
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 1/2 tsp sea salt

Notes

  • For longer fermentation, place the dough in the fridge one hour after the first rise. This dough can be kept in the fridge for up to three days. 
  • Don't over-ferment the dough; this dough rises exceptionally fast.
  • You can mix and match any hard wheat variety. If you wish to add a lower-gluten grain like Spelt or soft wheat, add about one-fourth of a part. 
  • For soup bread bowls, divide dough into four balls and bake in small Dutch oven pots.
