ACORN BREAD RECIPE | NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH

acorn flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour is more nutritious, while all-purpose flour is more budget-friendly.

Warm up the yeast with warm water.

Prepare the cornmeal by mixing 6 tablespoons of cornmeal with cool water to remove lumps.

Add boiling water to the cornmeal mixture to activate the starches.

Mash a potato, leaving some lumps for texture.

Let the potato and other ingredients cool before adding yeast to prevent killing it.

Combine the ingredients to form a dough, which behaves like a gluten-free dough.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour.

Punch down the dough and form it into a loaf.

Oil a loaf pan and dust it with cornmeal and acorn meal before placing the dough inside.

Let the dough rest again before baking.
