Zillertaler farmers bread
Cook up some authentic Zillertal comfort food – we’ll show you how to make Zillertaler farmers bread perfectly every time.
Ingredients:
- 500 g rye flour
- 500 g wheat flour
- 1 cube of fresh yeast
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 1 pinch of sugar
- 20 - 30 g bread spice (fennel, coriander, caraway)
- 700 ml lukewarm water
- 1 egg for brushing
Preparation:
- Mix the rye and wheat flour in a bowl. Form a well in the middle. Dissolve the yeast in a little lukewarm water and add it to the flour. Leave for about 10 minutes.
- Gradually add the bread spice, salt, sugar and the remaining water. Knead until the dough pulls away from the bowl and is nice and smooth. Cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place for about an hour.
- Divide the dough in two on a floured, smooth surface and shape into loaves. Place them on a greased baking sheet and brush with beaten egg.
- Place in the oven preheated to 180 - 200 degrees. Bake for about 40 minutes with top and bottom heat. Test: Turn the bread over and tap it - if it sounds hollow - the bread is done!
Enjoy!
