How to Prepare Wholegrain Nettle Bread [Vegan]
- Whisk together first three ingredients in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, take sugar and water and add yeast. Stir, cover and let sit for 10 minutes or until frothy.
- Add yeasted water slowly to the dry ingredients and knead the dough. Keep adding water and keep kneading till you get very soft and supple dough, about 7-8 minutes.
- Transfer dough to an oiled bowl. Turn around dough so that it is evenly coated with oil. Cover and keep in a warm place for 1 1/2 hour or until double.
- In the meantime, wash the nettle leaves. Bring water to a boil in a large pan. Add Nettle leaves.
- Cover and keep for 10 minutes. Drain. Reserve some leaves to put on top. Chop remaining leaves.
- Punch the risen dough. Add chopped nettle leaves evenly in the dough. Knead for 2-3 minutes.
- Shape into a ball. Stretch the top and tuck under the seams.
- Cover with a kitchen towel and leave to rise for 1 hour or until double.
- Towards the end of the rising time, preheat oven to 356°F.
- Brush the top of the bread with water. Arrange the leaves.
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until the top turns golden.
- Remove from the oven. Cool in the rack. Slice when cold.
Notes
You may use a blend of 50% all-purpose flour and 50% whole wheat flour to get a lighter crumb. In this case, water requirement will be less. You may also use any green leafy vegetable in place of nettle
