Tear and Share


Happy New Year!
We're back.
For now.
Fingers crossed. 

To kick off this cold and rainy January we'll serve you up some comforting and spicy bread, to chew on while wishing you hadn't eaten quite so much during Christmas. We know we did. 




Cumin and cracked black pepper tear and share bread

  • 2 pints of flour
  • 2 satchels (14 gram) of dried yeast
  • pinch of salt and sugar
  • whole cumin seeds (roughly ground)
  • cracked black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • sea salt
  • 3 dl of water

  1. Mix you dry ingredients, hurrah!
  2. Pour up the water, make sure it is warm to the touch (around 37 degrees celsius).
  3. Kneed the dough lightly, until it's got a doughy consistency. Let rest in a warm place until doubled in size.
  4. Kneed the bread for ten to fifteen minutes, then shape into balls and place next to each other.
  5. Let rest in a warm place.
  6. Glaze with egg and sprinkle a bit of salt and back pepper on top.
  7. Place in the oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown, at 250 degrees.
