Vegan Farmers bread

Step 1/6

• 400 g whole-wheat flour
• 20 g active dry yeast
• 2 tsp salt
• 700 ml water

Put the wheat flour in a bowl. Pour the yeast and a teaspoon of Salt into the bowl and add some water. Cover and leave in a warm place for 20 minutes. During this time the yeast may dissolve and start to swell.

Step 2/6

• 600 g whole-grain flour
• 10 tbsp vinegar
• 2 tsp cumin seed

Add the whole-grain flour, cumin and vinegar and the rest of the water and knead everything thoroughly. Cover and leave to swell for at least another hour in a warm place.

Step 3/6

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.

Step 4/6

• 2 sprig beer

Knead the dough again. If it is too moist and sticky, knead in some more flour. Then form a round loaf on a floured work surface. Brush it with some beer, cut the surface and add some flour on top.

Step 5/6

Place a small pot of water on the bottom of the oven. That's how a steam can be created in the oven for a crusty top. Put the dough on the middle of the shelf and bake for about 10 minutes at 250 degrees

Step 6/6

Then turn down to 220 degrees and bake for about 40 to 50 minutes. The bread is ready when it sounds hollow when you knock on the bottom.
