Today's exploit was baking bread from barley flour. We tried four experiments:
The results were quite interesting. Loaf 1 = Barley with leaven Loaf 2 = Barley with yeast Loaf 3 = Barley/wheat with leaven Loaf 4 = Barley/wheat with yeast The Barley/wheat combination with yeast was the lightest and sweetest. You can see why it was the high status option! As well as being denser, the barley loaves went stale and mouldy more quickly too. |
