Occasionally I eat rye bread, sometimes multi-grain but my bread of choice is white. That may sound surprising but this bread differs from the white bread that everyone enjoys. This one is Rustico bread, a round loaf, made from barley flour, baked in a stone-deck oven for a crisp golden crust and a light and airy interior, meaning it has more holes than normal bread. A courser bread to chew on, what I call a more manly bread and when toasted it has a crunch to it.
Bread made from barley flour is a nutritious and flavorful alternative to traditional wheat bread. Barley is an ancient grain that has been cultivated for thousands of years and is known for its rich, nutty taste. It contains several important nutrients, such as dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
To make bread from barley flour, you can follow a similar process to making wheat bread.
