Pre-dough:
600gr. Cold water
200gr. Cracked rye
100gr. Cracked barley
100gr. Cracked spelt
200gr. Flour mixture
2 table spoons. Sourdough (from wild yeast)
Final-dough:
500gr. Cold water
650gr. Flour mixture
22g. Salt
2 table spoons. Malted barley syrup
2-3 table spoons. Nettle (Urtica dioica)
Seeds: I use, pumpkin, sunflower and linseeds.
The flour mixture consists of:
550gr. Fresh grounded rye
150gr. Fresh grounded barley
150gr. Fresh grounded spelt.
Start mixing the pre-dough before you going to bed, its quit easy you just have to mix everything to a nice, soft and airy dough.
Next morning, just add everything from the final dough into the pre-dough and mix by hand or machine to a very sticky dough, it will take about 10 minutes by machine.
Then add all of the seeds (as much as you like), and mix short.
Oil and butter a form, fill it with the sticky dough.
Now let it proof about 2cm. and bake it in a 200 degrees Celsius pre-heated oven for 2 hours.
Remember to let it cool down 100%, before slicing.

Absolutely delicious!!
and either one can be used for the base? I just made a nettle sd loaf myself. :) Yours looks like my kind of loaf!
Busy here drying chili peppers, celery, parsley, onion greens and other stuff. I've had hard frost two days in a row!
Yeah, There is no up and down, you can just flip it around. Nettle and sourdough=pure life:)
Super Super Yummy, Breuer!
I'll have to try it someday. It look very healthy too!
...I can only imagine how good that bread tastes.
Well done!

That looks so good. I have never baked or cooked with nettle ... sounds interesting. It has health benifits I imagine?
Cheers, Phil
Nettle is one of most important herb we have on our planet, its packed with protein,vitamins and minerals(specialy iron)
The philosopher Rudolf Steiner says: "You can say that, the function the nettle has for the nature, the same function the heart has for us people!"
