Super Green Bread Recipe
Ingredients
>> 3 cups whole wheat flour
>> 1/2 cup everything green powder (see notes)
>> 1/2 tbsp salt
>> 1 8g active dry yeast packet (2 1/4 teaspoons)
>> 1 3/4 cups warm water, approximately 100°F
Instructions
Place the flour, green powder, salt and yeast in a large bowl. Use a whisk to mix the dry ingredients. Make a well and pour the warm water into the well. Using your hands (or a spatula or wooden spoon) mix together. The dough should be somewhat sticky. In the event it is too sticky, add a very small amount of whole wheat flour until it is only slightly sticky.
Once thoroughly mixed, cover the bowl with a towel for 2 to 8 hours (you can leave this on the counter overnight). The longer you let it rise, the more it will ferment.
When it has sat for a minimum of two hours, wet your hands and turn the dough onto a lightly floured parchment paper. The dough will be sticky. Do not punch it down, knead it or roll it. Gently pull the sides up and fold into the middle to make a round circle. Alternatively, cut the dough in half to make two loaves; be sure to tuck the ends under.
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Lightly dust the top with flour; then use a bread knife to create 3 lines across the top. Let it rest one half hour if making a round loaf. If using loaf pans, place the dough into the pans, dust with flour, and cut 3 lines.
If making a round loaf, place a baking sheet into the oven for 3 minutes. Remove from the oven then carefully slide the dough with the parchment paper onto the heated baking sheet. Place in the oven. Or, if making loaves, place loaf pans in oven.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until browned.
Place on a cooling rack for at least 30 minutes. Slice the bread and serve.
Notes:
- The longer the dough rises, the chewier it will be.
- Chances are you do not have an everything green powder on hand. Be sure to check out my video on how to make my "everything green" powder. Alternatively, you can use a store bought green powder mixture.
