Barley Bread - yeast

Method

• Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
• Put the first three ingredients (yeast, 1/2 tsp brown sugar and 1/2 cup warm water) in a small bowl and mix well. Let the yeast bubble and foam.
• In a large bowl add 1 cup of the barley flour and the remaining 1/2 cup warm water. Mix together well.
• Add the 1 1/2 tsp brown sugar, the oil, and the salt and mix well.
• Add the yeast mixture and mix well.
• Add the bean flour and mix well.
• Add as much more barley flour as you need to make a kneadable dough (mine took the entire 1 more cup).
• Put some more barley flour down on a work surface and then knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
• Form 2 small balls and place them on the cookie sheet. Make a small cut in the tops of each.
• Let rise until doubled (mine did not get that big but I baked them after about 2 hours).
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 1 hour.
