A spice bread is very versatile

Just like many other people I also had more time at home lately, so I cleaned up my supply closet.

I found several different kinds of flour, such as amaranth, chickpea and chestnut. So I baked bread with them.

And since I do nothing without spices, I baked a turmeric bread.

I added some half white flour because the other flours are not very glutinous and if I use only those, the bread remains more crumbly.

Buckwheat flour also goes very well with it. Its somewhat rustic taste adapts very well to the slightly bitter and earthy taste of turmeric.

It tastes great with hearty spreads, for example with olive tapenade or dried tomatoes.

For 500 g flour, you can calculate 2 – 3 teaspoons of turmeric.

Instead of small rolls, you can, of course, bake a whole bread, just like I did. In this case, the baking time is extended to about 45 minutes. The bread is fully baked when it sounds “hollow” when you knock on it. Enjoy!
