Ingredients
  • 3 cups hi-gluten bread flour
  • 2 ⅓ cups barley flour
  • 1 Tbsp instant, dried yeast
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 ½ - 2 cups lukewarm water
Instructions
  1. Add all ingredients to a large bowl, or a stand mixer bowl. Mix well to combine.
  2. Knead by hand until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes, or using a stand mixer for 5 - 8 minutes.
  3. Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 2 hours
  4. Gently fold to deflate. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a floured brotform. Cover and let rise 1 ½ - 2 hours or until doubled.
  5. Preheat oven and baking stone to 425 degrees.
  6. Gently flip the bread out of the brotform and onto a parchment lined peel. Score the round with a sharp knife.
  7. Slide the loaf onto the baking stone and bake for 25 - 40 minutes, or until interior temperature reaches 200 degrees.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for up to an hour before slicing.
