Create a unique flavor experience with this miso mushroom swirl bread, packed with umami and fresh herbs. Perfect for a healthy homemade treat!
Ingredients
- • whole wheat flour: 3 cups
- • active dry yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
- • warm water (110°F/45°C): 1 cup
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • white miso paste: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped: 1 cup
- • garlic, minced: 2 cloves
- • fresh thyme, chopped: 1 tablespoon
- • fresh parsley, chopped: 1 tablespoon
- • black sesame seeds (optional): 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it stand for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- 3 Stir in the olive oil, salt, and miso paste until well combined. Gradually add the whole wheat flour, mixing until a dough forms.
- 4 Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- 5 In a small skillet over medium heat, sauté the shiitake mushrooms and garlic in a teaspoon of olive oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the thyme and parsley, then remove from heat.
- 6 Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick. Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the dough.
- 7 Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from a short side. Pinch the seam to seal and place the loaf seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 8 Allow the loaf to rise for about 15 minutes. Brush the top with a little olive oil and sprinkle with black sesame seeds if using.
- 9 Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- 10 Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Savory Miso Mushroom Swirl Bread pairs beautifully with a light green salad dressed in lemon vinaigrette, accentuating the fresh herb flavors within the bread. Slice it thickly and serve alongside a hearty vegetable soup for a comforting meal. For a gourmet touch, consider serving with a spread of soft goat cheese or a plant-based alternative, along with a glass of crisp white wine or a refreshing herbal tea.
Storage Tips
Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To preserve its freshness longer, wrap the bread tightly in aluminum foil and place it in a freezer-safe bag, then freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving, and reheat in a preheated oven for a few minutes to regain its fresh-baked texture.
