Nobody makes baked bread out of it but it should ferment better than anything else. People who eat it normally grind it (get it ground) daily as it quickly gets bitter like Tapioca does.

If it works for you, please tell me all about it, and then what you did with it. I have baked wheat bread with help of yeast, but as it only occasionally came out OK, have continued to buy it from bakery, mostly whole wheat and rye (with Dill Seeds in it, not what they call Dark Rye). Having lived in west for over 15 years I came upon Sourdough Bread at my Tesco. Found it eat-able for most days like Pear Millet bread which we ate 4 times a day when I was little. Looks it is only Rye, wheat and barely that form a quick film around dough and not any kind of millet, rice or yam flour dough. So to start with will stick to wheat flour that we Indians use to make our unleavened bread on tava / tawa. I have got clay one that I put upside down ob my electric hob. |
