No-Knead Bread with Hull-less Barley

An easy no-knead bread with barley.

Ingredients

200ml Helsekorn hull-less barley
900ml wheat flour
200ml coarse rye flour
100ml sunflower seeds or flaxseeds
1 packet dry yeast
A pinch of salt
700ml water
1 tablespoon honey


Instructions

  1. Mix all the dry ingredients together.
  2. Dissolve the honey in lukewarm water and add to the dry mixture.
  3. Stir together lightly; it doesn’t have to be completely smooth. The dough should be very loose—more like a very thick batter—and should not be kneaded.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and let rise for about 30 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle flour on the countertop and turn the dough out of the bowl. Divide the dough into two pieces and place them in greased bread tins (silicone works well).
  6. Optionally, sprinkle some barley and oat flakes on top of the dough before the second rise.
  7. Let rise for another 30 minutes under a towel.
  8. Bake in the middle of the oven at 200°C (390°F) for about 20 minutes.
  9. Remove the bread from the tins and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
