From zoetheunicorn 15 years agoIngredients
- 1 1/2 tsp dried yeast (one packet) shopping list
- 1 tsp sugar shopping list
- 1/4 cup warm water shopping list
- 1 large carrot, grated shopping list
- 2 cups plain flour (or one white, one wholemeal) shopping list
- 2/3 cup rye flour shopping list
- 1/3 cup cornmeal shopping list
- 2 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves shopping list
- 1/2 Tbsp salt shopping list
- 1 Tbsp oil shopping list
- 1/4 cup (approx) warm water, extra shopping list
How to make it
- In a small bowl, combine yeast, sugar and 1/4 cup warm water. Let stand 10 minutes until its frothy.
- meanwhile combine the remaining indredients (except oil and extra water) in a large bowl.
- Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Stir it up, add the oil and then gradually enough water to make a non-sticky, workable dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes or so, until its smooth and elastic. (how good are the colours??!)
- Shape the dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl. Toss to coat the ball in oil then cover with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place to double in bulk. (about an hour).
- Punch down the dough, knead for another minute or so, then shape into a loaf, place in a tin, cover with plastic again and leave it to double in bulk again (another hour or so).
- Spray the loaf with a little water, sprinkle with some extra cornmeal and some cellery seeds if you like...or caraway would work too... and bake in a preheated 190C (375F) oven for about 50 - 60 minutes, until it sounds hollow when tapped.
- The result is a beautifully speckled golden dense loaf, perfect for winter soups, or even great with butter and vegemite, according to Jeremy : )
