Barley Bread Like in the Bible | Sourdough Recipe with 100% Fresh Milled Flour

This is not your typical sourdough bread. Today I’m baking with some ancient grains I haven’t experimented with before — and the results were so fun! Barley is mentioned many times in the Bible so I decided to give it a try. 👉 My sourdough starter was fed with rye — known for its high enzyme content — and it was incredibly active and bubbly. 🍞 PURPLE BARLEY SOURDOUGH RECIPE Flour Mix: 250 g hard white wheat (fresh milled) 250 g spelt (fresh milled) 100 g purple barley (fresh milled) 👉 Total: 600 g flour Seeds & Add-Ins: 1 Tbsp sesame seeds 1 Tbsp flaxseed 2 Tbsp psyllium husk 2 tsp sea salt Wet Ingredients: 2 cups room-temperature water 100g sourdough starter INSTRUCTIONS Mix & Knead Add flour, seeds, and salt to your bowl. Pour in water, sourdough starter and knead (I am using my Bosch mixer). I mixed for about 5 minutes until the dough felt smooth and elastic. Now it's time to proof the dough (rise) Place dough in a warm oven, covered with a damp towel. After 30 min → stretch & fold. After another 30 min → stretch & fold again. Ideally, do 4 folds total, but I did 2 this time due to time issues. Proof for ~6 hours total. Shape & Final Proof Lightly knead and shape into a loaf. Place into an oiled 9" bread pan. Option to set inside a roasting pan with a little water in the bottom to create steam (acts like a Dutch oven). Proof for about 3 hours, depending on room temp. - check hourly. Bake With bread still in the oven, Preheat oven to 425°F and start timer. Bake for 1 hour with the lid on. Cool completely before slicing for the best crumb!
