Barley Malt Loaf
A rich, toasty bread, with a gentle sweetness
Flavor Notes: Caramel, toasted grain, nutty
Crumb: Supple, moist, delicate
Perfect for: Tomato toasts, veggie delight, grilled and slathered with butter and honey
Wine Pairing: Rare Wine Co. Boston Bual
Ingredients and Sourcing: Locke’s Mill Barley
Why this bread:
Barley can be used in a broad range of culinary applications, and my first encounter with it was with barley tea.
As someone who loves nutty, toasty flavors, I was immediately smitten.
The magic of barley continues to reveal itself when it is sprouted and malted and made into barley malt syrup, an unrefined sweetener that has a distinct malty caramel flavor without the sweetness level of a refined sugar.
Both the barley grain and syrup are used in this loaf to create a deliciously nuanced bite.
About the grains:
Locke’s Mill Barley - A cereal grain, meaning the edible seed of a grass species.
Barley is one of the oldest domesticated grains, cultivated for over 10,000 years.
Known for its nutty, slightly sweet, and cereal-like flavor, it contributes a rustic depth to both breads and porridges.
