Instructions
 

Prepare Wild Yeast Water

  • Place grapes, sugar, and water in a jar. Shake, and let sit in a warm place (70-75°F) for 3-4 days, shaking daily. The mixture should be bubbly and have a pleasant fruity aroma.

Make the Bread Dough

  • Combine 125g flour and 70ml of sieved wild yeast water (or 70ml of warm water with 6 tbsp active dry yeast dissolved in it). Mix to a shaggy dough, cover, and let rise for 4 hours in a warm place.
  • Add remaining 75g flour, 25ml wild yeast water (or 25ml of warm water), and salt to the sponge. Mix until combined.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, add 1 tbsp olive oil, and knead until smooth and elastic (12-15 minutes).
  • Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled (1-1.5 hours).
  • Punch down the dough, turn it out, and divide into 5 equal pieces. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Lightly grease muffin cups and place them upside down in a baking tray.
  • Shape each dough piece into a 3.5-inch disc and press it into each muffin cup.
  • Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes in a warm place.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with dried herbs.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Remove from cups and cool on a wire rack.

Make the Millet & Root Vegetable Stew

  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan. Add all vegetables, millet, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Pour in vegetable stock.
  • Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until millet is tender. Fluff with a fork before serving.
  • Serve the warm stew in the baked bread bowls.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor in the stew, sauté the vegetables before adding the millet and stock.
  • If you don't have multigrain flour, use whole wheat or a combination of whole wheat and all-purpose flour.
  • Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor of both the bread and the stew.
  • Make the bread bowls ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. Reheat gently before serving.
