How to make delicious Christmas bread with Nordwise® rye bread starter kit?
You will need: Nordwise ® rye bread starter kit, 450 g rye flour, 50 g sugar, 10 g salt, 100 g hazelnuts, 100 g cranberries, 1 orange.
Preparation instructions for making 1 loaf of bread:
- Thoroughly mix the starter packet with 500 ml of hand-warm water and 200 g of rye flour.
- Cover the bowl with a towel and leave the mixture to ferment at room temperature for 10-12 hours.
- Add 50 g of sugar, 10 g of salt and 1 packet of dry yeast to the fermented dough. Finally, mix in 250 g of rye flour, grated peel of 1 orange, 100 g of hazelnuts, 100 g of dried cranberries.
- Pour the bread dough into a bread pan greased with butter or covered with baking paper. Poke a few holes in the bread dough with your finger, by which it is good to judge the rise of the dough (the holes poked with your finger disappear when it rises).
- Cover the bread pan with a towel and let the bread dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Brush the surface of the bread dough with water to prevent the bread crust from cracking during baking.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C and bake for 20 min, then reduce the heat to 180°C and bake for 60 min.
- Leave the warm bread to cool under a towel. To retain moisture, sprinkle the bread with water or spread with butter.
Bon appetit and happy holidays!
