Baking farmhouse bread with Eva

Ingredients for 3 loaves of bread:

•     2.5 kg rye flour
•     1/2 kg wheat flour
•     1pkg. yeast
•     1,5EL sugar
•     1 tbsp bread spice
•     1,5l water

Preparation:

•     Pour some of the flour into a bowl and make a well in the middle
•     Crumble in the yeast
•     Add the sugar and half of the lukewarm water, stir and leave to rise
•     Mix the steam that has just formed into the remaining flour
•     Add salt, bread spice and the remaining water
•     Cover again and leave to rest for 1 hour
•     Shape the mixture into three loaves
•     Bake at 200° top and bottom heat for approx. 1 hour

Eva's tips:
Instead of 100% water, you can also use half buttermilk or yogurt. This gives the bread a good consistency. Eva also bakes several loaves at a time and freezes the rest. This way, there is always bread available when needed. Eva also recommends wiping the bread with a damp cloth after baking to give it a special shine.
