Farmer Bread (Burebrot) image

From A Taste of Switzerland by Sue Style. I've adapted this to work for me; mostly by adding a bit more yeast, a bit less salt, and using bread flour instead of plain white flour. This is a dense, wheaty loaf, great for toasting and topping with some good rustic cheese. Having such a dense structure, it would also be a great dipper for a pot of cheese fondue!

Yield 1 loaf, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 2/3 cups bread flour
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups rye flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
8 ounces warm water
7 ounces buttermilk

Steps:

  • Mix together the flours and salt. Add in the yeast.
  • Add the water and buttermilk, and mix in an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook until the dough is fairly firm and does not stick to the side of the bowl.
  • Rise at room temp until doubled in size.
  • Heat oven to 425°F.
  • Shape the dough into a long oval on a baking sheet. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise again for about 30 minutes.
  • Cut a lattice pattern into the dough with a sharp knife. Place into the oven, and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until crusty.
