Sprouted Lentil sourdough Loaf

Sprouted Lentil sourdough Loaf

Ingredients:

  • 150 grams of active sourdough starter

  • 200 grams of organic bread flour

  • 500 grams of sprouted wheat flour

  • 100 grams of sprouted lentil mix (I used 2 tbsp of dried nettles- use whatever herb you enjoy)

  • ( put 1/2 cup of sprouted lentils in your blender with herbs and blend till a rough flour)

  • 200 grams of organic kefir- Optional. If removed use more water

  • 400 grams of warm purified water (more or less may be needed depending on the absorbency of your flour)

  • 20 grams extra virgin olive oil- optional

  • 20 grams of sea salt

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, kefir, olive oil and water. Stir until well combined.

  3. Add the sprouted wheat flour, sprouted lentil mix, bread flour, and sea salt to the bowl. Mix until all of the ingredients are evenly combined and a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but not too wet. Let it sit for 30 min and add in another 20-40 grams of water depending on dryness.

  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled ( I used sesame seeds after I oiled it) , and let rise in the pullman loaf until doubled in size and filling the loaf pan.

  5. Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, remove the lid and bake till golden brown- roughly another 20 min.

  6. Remove the loaf from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
