These days finding certain foods in supermarkets is becoming a difficult task. But that is no inconvenience to do this bread as we can easily adapt it.
The first thing you should know is that buttermilk is very easy to make at home. You just have to put 225 grams of milk in a bowl and add 25 g of white vinegar or lemon juice, stir and let it rest for a few minutes.
After a while you will see that the milk has been cut and that is just what we need. You don't need to filter it or remove the solid part. We will use the whole set to make this recipe.
It also works with lactose-free milk, so you can adapt it to your special diet if you are lactose intolerant.
Another important fact is that bread can be made with both bread flour or pastry flour.
Although it is interesting to mix various types of flour. You can use half of white flour and the other half of whole wheat flour, spelled flour or buckwheat.
In addition to this bread you can add seeds like sesame, poppy or pipes. There are even those who add prunes to the dough but, for now, I have not reached that much.
If you dare to enrich it, I recommend that you use about 50 grams of seeds. You can add them to the dough or just sprinkle them on top.
By the way, you can also sprinkle your bread with oatmeal to give it a more rustic air.
El oven also plays a very important role, so make sure it is well preheated before inserting the bread. I already I can't live without my thermometer and I always put it on when I turn on the oven. This way I make sure that the interior is at the correct temperature.
The bread will be ready when it has a nice toasted color. And, to make sure that it is well cooked, nothing like tapping the base. If it sounds hollow, your bread is ready to be taken out.
Leave it alone cool on rack so that the base is aerated and does not get wet. And wait until it's cold before cutting it so it doesn't fall apart.
Doesn't it make you want to make bread at home?
