Recept: Broeder met een twist

A regional dish from West Friesland. We created the recipe below for an article in Fire&Food magazine!

Supplies:

125g wheat flour
125g buckwheat flour
250g buttermilk
1 egg
5g dried yeast
25g stem ginger
125g currants and dried apricots
1/2 apple
1/2 tsp salt

Additional required:
Bread Dutch oven
Baking paper

Preparation method:

  • Cut the ginger, apple, currants and apricots into pieces.
  • Mix the flour with the yeast and stir in the buttermilk and eggs until you have a smooth dough. Then stir in the dried fruit, cardamom, stem ginger, apple, and salt.
  • Cover the bowl with the dough tightly and place it in a warm place until the dough has risen (approx. 45-60 minutes).
  • Preheat the DO with 5 briquettes at the bottom and 10 briquettes on the lid.
  • Line the bottom of the DO with baking paper to prevent the bread from sticking to the bottom.
  • Once the dough has risen, place the dough in the DO.
  • Place the lid on the DO and ensure that the temperature in the DO is 180° C.
  • After 45 minutes, insert a skewer into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.

Delicious with butter and sugar!
