Mealworm Bread Recipe
Can use buffalo powder too
Ingredients
400g strong white flour, plus extra for dusting
50g Mealworm Powder (or Buffalo Powder)
2 tsp salt
7g sachet fast-action yeast
3 tbsp olive oil
300ml water
Method
| Mix 400g strong white flour, 50g mealworm flour, 2 tsp salt and a 7g sachet of fast-action yeast in a large bowl. Keep the salt and yeast separate at this stage. |
 |
|
Make a well in the centre, then add 3 tbsp olive oil and 300ml water, and mix well. |
 |
| Tip onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for around 10 mins. The dough is quite sticky due to the mealworm flour so you may need more flour whilst kneading. |  |
| Once the dough is satin-smooth, place it in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with towel / cling film. Leave to rise for 1 hour until doubled in size or place in the fridge overnight. |  |
| Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Knock back the dough (punch the air out and pull the dough in on itself) then gently mould the dough into a ball. |  |
| Place it on the baking parchment to prove for a further hour until doubled in size. | |
| Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. | |
| Dust the loaf with some extra flour and cut a cross about 6cm long into the top of the loaf with a sharp knife. | |
| Bake for 25-30 mins until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped underneath. Cool on a wire rack. |  |
