dagmars green bread

here you find all the breads in the BBD#9 Roundup

this is an swedish recipe, found in one of my old recipe books I took with me when I moved to Italy.

I had to wait for my nettles to grow..because I used them all to do the Nettle cream for the MuVarA menu party. :)

So here I am, doing it all in a rush in the last minute.

this is a recipe taking part of the bbd#9

thank you astrid for hosting!!

you need:

150gr of nettles*

375gr of milk
1 tablespoon of butter
15 gr of fresh yeast**
1 tabelspoon of honey

half tablespoon of fennel seeds

400gr of whole weath flour

300gr of plain flour

100gr of oat flakes

and an other 100gr to spread on the bread

pute the milk in a pot with the butter to warm up. when it is lukewarm, take a little parte to dissolve the yeast, add salt and honey and mix together.

put the choped nettles(don't use the stalks, they are to hard) in the rest of the milk and let cook briefly.

pour the milk with the nettles in a ball, add the yeast, the two flours, 100gr of oat flakes and mix together well.

if the dough is loose it is ok.

leave it to rise untile the next day (12-16hours),

in a cool place(in the frige if it is to hot outside).

the next day, take it out of the ball and make small breads.

(if the dough still is loose, you can add some flour to make it easier to work)

put them on a plate and brush with water and spread the remaing oats flakes.

let rise another 2 hours.

bake in 200° C for ca 25-30min, it depends how big the breads are.

*

150gr of nettles are a lot, you can use spinach leaves instead,

or both.

** if you are in a hurry increase the amount of yeast to 30gr.
