Subj : Borodinsky Bread To : All From : Ben Collver Date : Sun Oct 06 2024 09:57:49 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Borodinsky Bread Categories: Bread, Russian Yield: 1 Loaf 150 g Wheat flour (1-1/4 c) 100 g Rye flour (3/4 c) 220 ml Wateri (1 c); approximate 7 g Yeast powder (1/4 oz) 20 g Rye malt powder (3/4 oz) 1 tb Sunflower oil 1 tb Honey 1 ts Salt 1 ts Coriander powder Coriander seeds To start making Borodinsky bread, first mix all the dry ingredients. In a large bowl mix wheat and rye flour, yeast powder, salt and coriander powder. Then, add the star of the show: Russian rye malt powder that gives the bread that special flavor, and stir the mixture one more time. Next, mix lukewarm water with honey, and pour into the dry mixture; also add 1 tb of sunflower oil. Knead the dough: it should be quite sticky, thick but still elastic. Be sure not to overdo the water: you may need more or less depending on the flour you use. Grease your hands with some oil if the dough feels too sticky; this makes it easier to work. Put the dough in a large clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave in a warm corner for 1 hour. When the dough doubles in size, punch it down and put in a loaf form greased with oil. Leave for another 30 minutes to let the dough rise. Then, mix some flour with water and cover the surface of the dough with this whitish liquid; generously sprinkle with coriander seeds. Bake borodinsky bread at 210°C/425°F for 30 minutes; lower the temperature to 180°C/350°F and bake for another 30 minutes Let the bread cool down completely, and enjoy.
