Here is some advice for making bread without using white flour:
- You can use whole wheat flour, spelt flour, rye flour, oats, quinoa or other grains. Combine different types of flour for a better taste and texture for the white flour bread;
- To ensure the softness and moisture of the bread, you can add chopped fruits, vegetables, butter or eggs;
- Instead of regular yeast, you can use natural starter or make your own starter, which will ferment the dough and give it a deeper flavor. Bread sourdough can be made from flour and water and it is left to stand for several days until it develops;
- If using heavier cereals or flours, it may be necessary to add more liquid to ensure the proper consistency of the dough. Use water, milk, yoghurt, natural yogurt or other liquids;
- If you want a sweeter or more aromatic bread, you can add sweeteners like honey, stevia, maple syrup or spices like cumin, cinnamon, rosemary, garlic;
- After mixing the ingredients, knead the dough and let it rise. Then form the bread into the desired shape and bake it in a preheated oven according to the time and temperature guidelines for the appropriate type of flour.
Remember that flourless bread can have a heavier texture and bake more slowly due to the lack of gluten, which is responsible for improving the structure and elasticity of the dough.
