Cornmeal bread rings

Ingredients

  • 120 gWhite flour
  • 70 gOat flour
  • 70 gCornmeal flour
  • 5 gFresh yeast
  • 1 tbsp (15 g)Oil
  • 1 pinchSalt
  • 1 tbspSolid sweetener — preferred
  • as neededWater

Preparation

  1. I prepared the starter by mixing the yeast with 1 tbsp white flour, 1 tbsp agave syrup, and 2 tbsp water, then left it at room temperature for about 10 minutes to activate.
  2. I mixed the white flour with the oat flour and cornmeal flour, plus a pinch of salt.
  3. I added the dry mixture to the risen starter along with enough water to form an easily kneadable dough.
  4. I added the tablespoon of oil and kneaded the dough for another 1–2 minutes.
  5. I shaped 4 bread rings and left them at room temperature for about 40 minutes to rise slightly.
  6. I sprinkled them with poppy seeds after brushing them with a little water in which I had added a pinch of sweet paprika to help them brown.
  7. I baked them for approximately 30 minutes at 200°C until lightly golden.

Additional notes

  1. Add a pinch of sweet paprika to the water you brush the rings with and they will brown beautifully.
  2. Grind the cornmeal yourself or use store-bought cornmeal flour; coarse-ground cornmeal (grits) is not recommended due to its grain size.
