Recipe by The Miller's Daughter  Photo byKate Remmer onUnsplash
  • 400g wholemeal emmer flour
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 sprig rosemary, leaves stripped and finely chopped
  • 50g Pecorino cheese, finely grated
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk

METHOD

Preheat your oven to 450. Weigh the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl, along with the rosemary and Pecorino. Make a well in the middle and pour in the buttermilk. Combine it with a blunt kitchen knife, handling the dough as little as possible – there is no need to knead this dough, in fact, the less you handle it, the better! When the ingredients are evenly incorporated, shape the dough into a round loaf using your hands.

Place it on a floured baking tray or pizza stone, and score a deep cross into the top, taking the cuts right down the sides. This will make the bread easy to break into quarters for sharing.

Bake it for 30-40 minutes on a low shelf in the oven. To check when it is done, insert a metal skewer – if it comes out clean, the bread is cooked. Leave it to cool on a wire rack.

This bread is best eaten on the day of making.

In the Basque region of France they don't soak their signature Tolosa beans, they slowly braise them with just water, salt and olive oil. Time and heat to transform even the dense beans from dry to creamy masterpieces. This method works just as well for all heirloom beans! Read more about my bean braising experiments...
