Bread Ingredients

Method

Bread Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water and honey. Sprinkle the active dry yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine spent grain, all-purpose flour, and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    Shape the Loaf

    Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased bread pan.

  6. 6

    Second Rise

    Cover the loaf with a towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  8. 8

    Bake the Bread

    Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

  9. 9

    Cool the Bread

    Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
