Carrots Walnut Bread is currently my absolute favorite when it comes to breads. Sometimes you just need variety, or how do you see it? I am a big fan of whole wheat sourdough breads because they are so rich. Of course I am also tempted by a light bread Bread or a pretzel stick. But this is now the absolute exception, because I know that it has virtually no nutritional value for the body. When buying Bread I also always make sure that it is organic. After all, we already get enough pollutants every day. The crowning glory, however, is still the self-made bread and soon I will also drive up with a real, homemade sourdough bread. Promise!
Carrot walnut bread, how that smells
Last time there was yes a really tasty, gluten-free bread from oatmeal . Today I use spelt flour, half whole wheat, half light (type 1050), water, carrots, walnuts, salt, raw cane sugar and dry yeast. That’s it again with the ingredients. Or rather, I forgot one thing, dried sourdough. You can buy it in well-stocked supermarkets and it ensures that the bread gets the typical acidity and lasts a tad longer.
The preparation is also quite simple and I like to use my food processor for this. But it also works fine by hand, which means that you have to knead a bit. But it’s supposed to be good for when you want to let off steam. Almost like a gentle anti-aggression therapy.
What does Ausmahlungsgrad actually mean?
You may have seen the different flours on the supermarket shelves labeled with different type designations seen. Usually you can find there wheat, spelt, and rye flour. In most cases wheat flour type 450, spelt flour type 630 or 1050 and other wholemeal flours without type designation. One thing I can tell you, the numbers have nothing to do with the fineness of the Floures to do with. The only thing that matters is how high the mineral content of the flour is. The lower (e.g. type 405), the less mineral is contained.
- Type 405 = 405mg minerals per 100g
- Type 1050 = 1050mg minerals per 100g
- Type 1050 is a partial extraction flour, i.e. the complete husk and germ are first removed by machine and then partially added again.
- The lighter the flour, the lower the type number and the higher the starch content
- Whole grain flours never have a type number because the whole grain is always milled
Perhaps you are now asking yourself why they actually started to grind out the grain? After all, the whole grain has more fiber, minerals and is therefore more valuable than white flour. The origin of this is already in the 17th century, when the white flour was actually something very special and also much more expensive than whole wheat flour. Even the French military was supplied with white bread at the time of Napoleon, and so it has always penetrated into all strata of the population.
Not all flour is created equal
And here’s the kicker, because at some point they also figured out how to remove not only the marginal layers of the grain, but also the valuable germ in the kernel of the grain. can be removed without much effort. The decisive advantage here is, the durability . The germ hides many vitamins, enzymes and high-quality fatty acids. Anyone who has been paying close attention knows that unsaturated fatty acids can quickly go bad. For this reason, the industry is pleased and simply omits a lot of valuable to make the baked goods last longer in the trade.
TIP: Simply use whole grain flours more often, or at least mix light flours with whole grain flours. This ensures that valuable minerals, vitamins and fatty acids are retained during baking.
