Miso and light Rye Bread

[achookwoman]

The addition of a little Brown Miso paste adds a little 'something' to this healthy bread. The result is a soft crumb and a crisp crust.

200g of Organic white Bread flour
200g of light Rye Bread flour
100g of cooked wheat grain.
20g Miso paste, i used Barley but any would be OK
1 teaspoon of Sugar or honey
300/320 warm water. (this will depend of how wet the Wheat grain is.)
1/4 teaspoon of calcium ascorbate, (optional)

Place all in TMX bowl and knead for 4 mins.
If very sticky add a little more flour.
Leave in bowl,in warm place to double. Tip on to bench and knead a little by hand and form into shape required. If bread tin, flatten out dough and roll up to fit tin.
I line tin and sprinkle with seeds.
Spray with water, and cover to rise to nearly double.

Set oven to 200 C. and place a dish with water in bottom of oven.

Slash top and spray again.
bake for 30 mins. remove from tin and place back in oven on side and bake for another 20 mins.

Test to see if cooked, if not give another 10 mins.
Cool on rack ,and try not to cut until cold.

Chookie what inspired you to try miso in a bread? I would like to try this. At the moment I'm looking at the Beechworth Bakery book and all its recipes.

Cookie,  i was reading a French Blog and they were saying that Miso and Rye,  i think dark Rye, is all the rage in Paris.  I also looked at an Australian Bread Blog and he was adding Miso and sea weed into his bread. So why couldn't I have a go?.   On the diet I am on,  I am trying to eat very healthy and interesting food.  Especially as i am eating under 1000 calories a day.  This is actually a very nice loaf. Could add a bit more Miso.  I have been thinking of you today as I have been converting some of Yoke's recipes to TMX.  Did the Waffles today and will post.  Very, very nice.  Next I will try her Sourdough crepes made with potato flour.

It does look a very nice loaf Chookie, you are such a clever chook

Judy, next time you make rolls add some of that Miso paste that you have, in with the mix.  It gives a slight savory taste to the bread,

Will do Chookie, about a tablespoon?

[achookwoman]

Chookie you are amazing.  Under 1000 calories. I do admire you. I only need to lose a bit that has snuck back on but it is hard. Congraulations.

Thanks Cookie.  Free App,  Myfitnesspal has really helped.  I can keep track of what I am eating.  It counts the calories for me.

I keep meaning to look for that. Many years ago I counted calories and it was a real drag. Pen and paper with me all the time.
