Asparagus Bread

18 June 2009 5 Comments

It has become the most favorite time of the month when the gorgeous BBBabes reveal what they were baking this month. It really is fun! Plus I can’t remember one bread I did not like. Some I liked more, some became all time stars in my kitchen and some were ok, but I was never dissapointed and always learned something new.

This month Lien from Notititie from Lien was the Babe of the month inviting all the other babes to her kitchen for chitter and chatter and of course baking bread. The went seasonal this time.

BBBabes' Asparagus Bread

Bread with asparagus, cheese and rocket. Hmmms, sounds intresting, huh?

Let me tell you it is! And it is yummy too no doubt! Tho I was not sure about the asparagus part and was glad when Lien mentioned to substitute asparagus with spring onions. I realized is it was a v ery good suggestion, for one I do really not like asparagus white or green alike and then I could not get it anyway when I went shopping for the bread yesterday. *sigh*
So no asparagus it is – but spring onions.

Here are my tiny adaptions to Liens recipe (for the original and the instructions, please go here!)

125 g spring onion greens
25-30 g rocket
50 g shredded roasted pumpkin seeds,
50 g freshly grated grana padano cheese
200 gr white spelt flour
250 gr whole spelt flour
12 g fresh yeast
250 g water (used a litle less since the onions added a bit addtional fluid)
25 g olive oil
10 g (sea) salt

I loved working with the dough (well my kitchen machine did most of the working with the dough since I had too more tasks planned this evening and kneading the onions and rocket into the dough was much easier this way than by hand) and what surprised me most was that I was even able to free from the breads despite even tho I used spelt!

My whole kitchen smelled so lovely and if I hadn’t been that tired by the time the bread came out of the oven I guess I wouldn’t have been able to wait for it to cool down. hehe.

    I think the spring onions is a great idea. I loved this bread and the yummy Parmesan flavor, but I had a really hard time kneading in the asparagus as it went all squishy and since I can’t taste them in the bread I wonder if it was worth it. Spring onions must’ve added a nice zip. Your bread turned out perfectly! The texture looks fabulous!
