Bee Bread

Posted 2013-05-06 by Bastion Harrisonfollow


After finding a recipe for a honey loaf a while back, I decided that I would change it to my own tastes. Instead of a white bloomer, I have made a wholemeal sourdough to give it deeper flavours. I also swapped almonds for pollen to celebrate every aspect of a bees working life - and of course, the eventual arrival of spring. It has finally come. Based on the brands I used, if you divide it into twenty portions, then each is about 106 calories.

Preparation Time: 7 hours
Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Makes: 1 loaf

Ingredients



450g wholemeal bread flour



300g sourdough starter



60g clear honey
1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp salt



2 tsp bee pollen

Method



  • Mix the flour, starter, 50g honey, salt, and pollen together.



  • Gradually pour in the water to form a dough.



  • Knead the dough for ten minutes, then leave to prove for about six hours or until it has doubled in size.
  • Pre-heat your oven to 190 & #3872 ;C/ 170 & #3872 ;C fan/400 & #3872 ;F/6 Gas.
  • Score the top of the bread dough.



  • Squeeze the juice from your lemon into 10g honey and warm in the microwave for a few seconds.



  • Brush the mixture over the top of the bread.



  • Bake the bread in the oven.
