Bavarian homemade bread

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 200 g flour (type 405 or 550)
• 200 g flour (type 812 or 1050)
• 200 g flour (whole wheat flour)
• 200 g flour (rye flour)
• 2 tbsp spice mix, Bavarian bread spice (caraway, fennel, coriander)
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 cube of yeast
• 1 tbsp honey
• 500 ml water, lukewarm
• 150 g dough (liquid sourdough)

Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 45 minutes

Place all ingredients in a food processor and knead into a smooth dough (it should come away from the bowl). This takes about 10 minutes in a food processor, or up to 30 minutes by hand. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for about 20-30 minutes. Knead the risen dough thoroughly again, remove it from the bowl, and shape it into a smooth loaf. If necessary, let it rise again in a bread basket (lined with a floured cloth) for about 30 minutes. Place the bread in a bread pan or loaf pan and bake at 220°C for 15 minutes. Then place it on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake again at 200°C for about 40 minutes. Brushing the bread with water every now and then during baking will help create a nice crust. You can also brush it with butter at the end to give the bread a nice shine. When the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom, it’s done.
