Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 cups | Whole wheat flour |
| 1 cup | Cornmeal |
| 1/4 tsp | Salt |
| 1/2 cup | Roasted sesame seeds |
| 1 1/4 cups | Brown rice |
| 1 1/4 cups | Warm water |
Instructions:
-
Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, salt, and roasted sesame seeds. Mix well.
-
-
Add rice and water: Add the brown rice to the dry mixture and work it in with your hands. Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the warm water.
-
Mix: Using a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients together until a moist bread dough forms. Add a little more water if needed to achieve the desired consistency.
-
Knead: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 15 minutes, or until the dough comes together. It will be sticky, so wet hands can help with the process.
-
Prepare for fermentation: Prepare a well-oiled bowl. Place the kneaded dough in the bowl and turn it over twice to coat it with oil.
-
Cover and ferment: Lightly oil a sheet of waxed paper and place it oiled side down on top of the dough. Cover the bowl with a damp towel. Allow the dough to ferment in a cool place for 13 to 15 hours in the summer, or 24 to 26 hours in winter, until it has doubled in size and become slightly bubbly.
-
Shape and preheat: Once fermented, transfer the dough into an oiled loaf pan, making a dash down the center of the loaf with a sharp knife. Place the pan in a cold oven.
-
Bake: Turn the oven heat to 200°F (93°C) and bake for 25 minutes. Afterward, raise the heat to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for an additional 1 hour, or until the loaf is well browned and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan.
-
Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Enjoy: Slice and serve this delicious Brown Rice Sesame Bread with your favorite spreads or alongside soups and salads for a wholesome meal option.
