Cooking
To sort out the wheat from the litter, to put under running water and rinse for 20-30 min., all the unnecessary fine particles will emerge (husks, etc.).
Some soaked grain overnight or prepared dough leave for the night, I give You your option. After washing to drain the water to drain the grain. The wheat needs to stay clean and beautiful.
To grind grain. Be warned, this is a time-consuming process, so take your time. You should get 500 g of "flour", that is, the grain has absorbed moisture, softened a little and added weight. Of 400 g of grain is 500 g. of ground mixture (maybe a little less). Much depends on the wheat.
A blender or food processor is fine for grinding, but I found this old miracle technology of the USSR - the chopper (meat grinder with standard head will not fit, need smaller).
This is for comparison - before and after. Supposed to be no flour, and, namely, the crushed grain mass.
Further, the technology of preparation of this bread is not much different from the standard. Dissolve the yeast in milk with honey.
Knead the dough. This step will require effort, as the dough consistency is very sticky, so wet hands in water often. In powdered mixture add salt, melt butter and add, mixing milk with yeast and mix. Add water until, until the mixture acquires the consistency of a sticky dough that you can hold in the hands (and sticks). Can be a little sprinkle with flour.
Ready! That is, water may need more, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Form a ball, sprinkle with flour and leave in a warm place to rise, time it will take 1-1. 5 hours (should significantly increase).
The dough will resemble a dough with bran. It is beautifully got up, a little cracked - beauty)))
Go back a little bit to press down, slightly prisypaya flour, for convenience. To shift into the form I in the slow cooker (oil). Leave on the second approach, time may need less. The slow cooker I pre-heated a little, if oven - the form with the dough in the heat!
The dough rose considerably can bake. Unlike ordinary bread - "cap" does not rise... Bake for 1 hour.
Top crust can be baked in the oven, but I leave so the sides and bottom perfectly browned. The crust turns out more harsh than regular bread, but more crispy!
In the context, in consistency, similar to molasses, that is too heavy - this is not a classic bread made from flour! but the scent... and taste... DELICIOUS! Bon appetit!
