Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups acorn flour (leached and dried)
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1.25 cups milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the acorn flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your acorn bread plain, with butter, or alongside soups and stews!
