Questions about Barley bread
Does barley bread contain gluten?
Yes. Barley naturally contains gluten, so barley bread is not suitable for a gluten-free diet.
How do you stop homemade barley bread turning out dense?
Barley flour makes a heavier loaf than wheat flour because it forms a weaker dough. Blend it with strong wheat flour, knead until elastic, and let the dough rise until noticeably puffy before baking.
Can you use barley bread for toast and sandwiches?
Yes: toast slices until crisp at the edges, as the loaf can be denser than wheat bread. Its nutty flavour works well with cheese, eggs or savoury spreads.
How should you store barley bread?
Keep it in a bread bag or wrapped in a clean cloth at room temperature and eat it within a few days. Freeze sliced bread in a sealed bag, then toast slices straight from frozen.
What goes well with barley bread?
Its earthy, slightly nutty flavour pairs well with soups and stews, especially mushroom or vegetable soup. Try it with sharp cheese or smoked fish for a more filling sandwich.
