Quick Bread Recipe - KARASK - Traditional Estonian Barley Bread

barley flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

buttermilk

🥗Healthier: yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + vinegar

Yogurt provides similar acidity with fewer calories.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine ricotta cheese, melted butter, buckwheat honey, beaten egg, and salt.

Stir the mixture until well combined and set aside.

In another bowl, combine barley flour, white whole wheat flour, and baking soda, then create a well in the center.

Add the ricotta mixture into the well and incorporate all ingredients until combined.

Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and pour the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly.

Place the loaf pan in a preheated oven.

To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the bread is done.
