Malthouse cottage loaf
Malthouse cottage loaf is a traditional British bread made with a mixture of malted grains to give it a rich, nutty flavor. It is shaped into a round loaf with a smaller ball of dough placed on top, giving it a distinctive appearance. It’s a delicious and hearty bread that’s perfect for sandwiches or to enjoy on its own.
Ingredients
Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the strong white bread flour, malted grain flour, and salt.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the honey and lukewarm water until the honey is dissolved. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the dough and shape it into a round loaf with a smaller ball of dough on top.
- Place the loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a clean towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped on the bottom.
- Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy!
