Instructions
- Warm the buttermilk, add the yeast and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Mix together the flour and salt.
- Add the buttermilk/yeast mixture and the "seeds". Mix well. The dough should be elastic, but not sticky. If necessary add more flour or milk until it reaches the correct consistency.
- Knead dough 10 minutes. Cover with a cloth and leave it to rise until it doubles in a warm place.
- Form a round loaf from the dough. Place on a greased sheet, cover and let it rise another 30 minutes.
- During this time, preheat the oven to 250°C and place an ovenproof dish with boiling water on the bottom of the oven.
- Once the oven has reached the correct temperature, place the bread on the middle rack and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 200°C and bake for approximately 45 minutes.
- Remove bread from oven and brush with cold water to create a shiny crust.
