Bara Planc | a Historic Welsh Bakestone Bread Recipe

Bara planc, otherwise known as Bakestone bread, is a traditional Welsh yeasted griddle bread. Historically, Welsh breads were commonly cooked on a griddle wherever bread ovens were not available. The bara planc, or griddle bread, was baked on an iron plate over a fire. It was part of the everyday diet in Wales until the 19th century. ❤️ SUBSCRIBE IF YOU LIKE THIS VIDEO AND WANT MORE ❤️ Ingredients 4 ½ cup Einkorn flour 1 tsp salt yeast ¾ cup milk ¾ cup water 2 Tbsp honey 2 Tbsp butter I did not specifically have spelt or oat flour on hand, as recommended by Mistress Charis’s recipe. However, I did have Einkorn flour available, which was also a historically used flour. Instructions Combine dry ingredients together with instant yeast in a large bowl. In a small pot, combine milk, water, honey, and butter until tepid. Add liquid mixture to dry mixture. Knead until the dough is slightly sticky and elastic. Cover the bowl with a cloth for 1 hour. When the dough has doubled in size, knead the dough gently on a floured board. Shape the dough into 2 flat disks about 1 inch thick each. Cook on a warmed bakestone or griddle on low heat for about 20 minutes. Then, flip the bread over and bake the other side for an additional 20 minutes.
