HEALTHY BRUNCH

I love Saturday mornings. It is our “sports” morning. The kids play tennis and I go to the gym. We all meet home again at around 10am. Often we are very hungry at that time and this morning we had a nice healthy brunch.
Homemade juice and rye/grain buns – it can get better than that.

BREAD IN A POT

Have you ever made bread in a pot? It makes the bread moist with a crusty curst.

Yesterday evening just before I went to bed, I quickly mixed 600ml of water, ½ tablespoon of dry east, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 cup of wheat grain and 800 grams of plain flour in a bowl. Then I covered the bowl with glad wrap and placed it in the fridge.

This morning I heated the cooking pot in the oven at 200°C. I dumped the dough directly from the bowl into the hot pot without kneading the dough and baked it for 30 min. with the lid on and 10 min. without the lid.
