The ingredients for bread without yeast

Instead of yeast, we use baking soda and buttermilk for our walnut bread. You need the following ingredients:

  • 100 g walnuts
  • 450 g wholemeal spelled flour
  • 2 tsp soda
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 500 ml buttermilk

Bread without yeast – the preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, fan oven 180 degrees, gas level 4.
  2. Finely grind 80 g walnuts in a blender, roughly chop the remaining nuts. Sieve the flour and add the remaining bran in the sieve to the flour. Mix the ground and chopped walnuts, baking soda and salt into the flour.
  3. Make a depression in the middle and pour in the buttermilk. Knead the ingredients quickly with a wooden spoon into a soft, slightly sticky dough. Add a little more flour if necessary.
  4. Shape the dough into a round loaf and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Cut a cross in the middle with a knife. Bake the bread without yeast in the oven on the middle shelf for about 30–40 minutes and then let it cool on a wire rack.
