Millet Bread
Millet bread has a delightful, nutty flavor with a subtle sweetness, making it a versatile addition to your meals. Its texture is light and airy with a slightly chewy crumb, thanks to the millet and psyllium husks. The crust is pleasantly crisp, while the inside remains moist and tender. The simple ingredients meld beautifully to create a satisfying and well-rounded taste experience. One of the best aspects of millet bread is how easy it is to make. With just a few basic ingredients—millet, water, baking powder, salt, and optional olive oil—you can whip up a loaf with minimal effort. The process involves soaking the millet, blending it into a smooth mixture, and baking it to perfection. There are no complex steps or specialized equipment required, making this a perfect recipe for both novice and experienced bakers.
I recommend using metric measurements for exact results.
