Bread Baking Babes tackle Arkatena Bread

Tackle?

Wrangle?

Grapple?

Curious?

It starts out simple enough. The starter is made with chickpea flour, and because of the nature of chickpea flour, only takes 3 days to accumulate enough yeast to raise the dough.

Okay, some of the Babe will disagree with that statement but in theory thatโ€™s a good thing.

Then comes the list of steps to actually make the bread. No one thing is difficult itโ€™s just thatโ€ฆ.

Iโ€™m not saying any more. Youโ€™ll have to check out the Babes posts and read for yourself.

Elizabeth, of blog from OUR kitchen, our host kitchen for this month, found a creative challenge to start out the Babes year and this new decade.

Oh yesโ€ฆ. Happy New Year Babes !.

There were a few complaints comments about the difficulty creativity needed for this bread but it was agreed by all that it was worth every step.

There were many steps.

โ€œIf you like bread with a hefty crust, chewy crumb and intense flavour, this one is for you. It is like french Country Bread gone rustic. It is amazing what a difference the addition of chickpea flour can make to a bread. from Andrew Whitleyโ€™s โ€œBread Mattersโ€โ€

If you are up for this delicious challenge using chickpea flour for a hearty Arkatena Bread, head over to blog from OUR kitchen for the recipe and the details for being a Bread Baking Buddy this month.

  1. Eating this bread did help usher in Happy New Year ๐ŸŽŠ. Many steps many tries but wonderful bread. Baking it again.

  2. Just a few complaints? errrmmmโ€ฆ comments?

    Seeing how well the other BBBabesโ€™ bread turned out is making me think I should lick my wounds and try again. It really is good bread.
