The salt-free, choked with fiber, dense and wonderfully flavoured spelt bread is delicious by itself, or with blue cheese or with soup. You can substitute wholegrain spelt flour with whole wheat flour, forbidden black rice with wild rice if you wish.
Salt-Free Spelt Bread with Green Tea and Black Rice
adapted from Brot-Bernd Armbrust©angiesrecipes
|
- Bring 200 ml water to a boil. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes, then pour over the green tea leaves
©angiesrecipes, leaving it to brew for 4 minutes. Strain and leave it cool to the room temperature. - Combine the black rice and 400 ml water in a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then cook for 40 minutes at low heat until water has been absorbed. If there is still water left in the saucepan, drain in a colander and leave it to cool. Rinse and core the apple. Roughly grate the apple.
- Dissolve the fresh yeast with green tea in a mixing bowl, then stir in sugar, grated apple and raspberry vinegar. Now add in wholegrain spelt flour, rye flour, and rolled oats. Mix for 4 minutes at slow speed, then add in cooked black rice. Now increase the speed and continue to mix for 4 more minutes.
- Turn out the dough on a floured work surface and leave it, covered with a kitchen towel, for an hour. Fold and shape the dough into a round every 20 minutes. Place the dough in a greased 20cm springform pan. Proof for 30 minutes. Fill a roasting pan with some water and place it at the bottom of oven. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Bake the bread in the middle of the hot oven for 55-65 minutes.

This is such a fascinating loaf. Black rice and green tea... I have never come across anything quite like this. What is forbidden black rice?
What a unique recipe and super healthy too Angie.
@Mich Piece of Cake Black rice is sometimes known as "Forbidden Rice" because in ancient China nobles commandeered every grain for themselves and forbade the common people from eating it.
I am picturing this with a carrot soup for some reason!
Wow, what a combination...great look too!
This bread with a bowl of warm soup would sooth me from a cold that's been torturing me these days! Delicious!
What a fascinating bread with hint of raspberry,,,like a meal on its own.
That is one totally gorgeous loaf! I love the green tea infusion!
very tasty and healthy cake..bookmarked
It looks so exotic!
Your bread looks wonderful, as usual, perfectly baked! So full of healthy goodness!
What a gorgeous loaf! I love all the yummy grains you added...it must taste amazing!
It looks so hearty and delicious!
Wow, this loaf looks so dense and DELICIOUS. It has green tea in it- awesome!! A bag of black rice just showed up in my pantry...a random purchase from my parents? Is glutinous black rice the same as forbidden?
It looks absolutely delightful Angie, I would love a piece for sure.
Very cool and unusual bread with rice. Looks very good and filling!
Looks healthy, a great and new recipe for me
This is a very interesting looking bread. I love the forbidden rice and have a bag in the cabinet. I may have to give this a try. I can see serving this with soup - so delicious!
@Koko I believe they are the same, Koko.

This is a very alternative and interesting bread. I only tried black rice once but I am not very familiar with it really. Lovely though. You have inspired me tonight.

Adding green tea to bread is such a wonderful idea! Serving this with a steaming bowl of soup would be perfect.
I love forbidden rice...the texture and aroma must be wonderful from this bread. :)
That looks unbelievably healthy! Yum!
The bread looks hearty! I can imagine it would be wonderful with a soup. Your breads are always making my stomach growl! :)
Oh my word, this bread is gorgeous! It looks like a cake. I can't imagine how you get it to rise so beautifully with all that heavy fiber in there! I would love a piece with the soup I'm posting today, how about if we do a trade? A bowl of soup for a piece of bread, I think I'll be getting the better deal though!
What an amazing combination of ingredients! Beautiful too!
