[@virginiavoigt2418]

I ferment vegetables, kefir, and grains regularly. I have learned that you can control the rate of fermentation by the amount of salt you use. For grains, I don't add salt at the beginning, only at the point of cooking, and I like to ferment them for 2 or 3 days. Also, I find that fermentation is more successful when the water used used is not chlorinated.

[@yuyafit]

Hi Virginia, great points. Definitely agree, avoiding chlorinated water is crucial not only for successful fermentation but also for overall health!

[@mnayak9348]

When u soak grain in water cover with net so chlorine will evaporate

@@yuyafit Question: would all the phytic acid be removed from the ingredients by fermenting?

@@susannahfox7188 phytic acid is decreased significantly with the fermentation and longer the fermentation period the less phytic acid.

[@tcldevi]

Thank you for this video. It’s very similar to some of our traditional fermented recipes except that it’s steamed and not baked. The grains are soaked overnight or for 6 to 8 hours, then blended and again kept for fermentation overnight or minimum 8 to 12 hours depending on the weather. It’s a staple in our diet 😊

[@asiftaurani715]

Thanks lady. Beautiful way to teach to people.

[@alphonsine931]

During the fermentation of the dough the temperature is important: by 24-28 °C the micro-organisms produce more acetic acid and the bread will have a sour, vinegar-like taste. By a temperature of 28-32 °C they produce lactic acid and the bread will have a mild, yoghurt-like taste.

For sure you can use regular rice, it will change the consistency and flavour slightly, as wild rice is dryer and has a nutty taste plus is higher in fiber and protein.

Hi , im so excited about this bread ! I'm making the bread and didn't put the hot water beside the bread in the oven. After 8 hours their was no change in the bread batter. Can I let it sit for longer until it rises a bit or best to bake it anyway ?.

[@yuyafit]

Hi Belinda, apologies for the delayed reply. I trust that you managed to figure it out in time. As per the hot water - it helps create an ideal environment for the fermentation process to be successful. In the warmer months or tropical climates, this might not be necessary.

This is an interesting recipe and I am keen to try. I am from Malaysia. It is hot and humid all year round with daytime temperatures of 30C and night about 25C. Should fermentation still be 48 hours or should it be shorter. Thank you

[@yuyafit]

Hello, apologies for the delayed response. You will definitely want to adjust the fermentation time for your humid and warm climate. We are on the west coast of Canada so our temperatures are quite mild. Perhaps try half the time and see how it goes. The dough should smell mildly sour and have some air pockets. If you over ferment you might end up with a dense bread with no air bubbles.

[@revn9203]

[@giselafiege7169]

Certainly is an investment of time for this bread. Looks great though. I’m going to try this, I do live in a warm climate, although it being winter the temperatures at night are of at least 10 degrees difference. Wondering if that would impact the process significantly? My filtered water on my counter is significantly cold in the morning. None the less I will give it a go. Mahalo 🌺🙏🤙

[@yuyafit]

Hello Gisela, did you try the bread? The fun part about any wild fermentation is that each time you do it it's a new experience. Many factors play a role (moisture in the air, temperature, etc) so it's best to keep an eye on the dough and make intuitive decisions.

@@yuyafit I have yet to be home long enough to try this recipe. I bet it’s a bit tricky yet rewarding when all is done. I figure to help with the temperature fluctuations where I live if I put it in the oven (off oven) it might keep the temperature a bit more steady. We shall see. Much Aloha

[@yuyafit]

Hello and thank you for reaching out. I used foxtail millet in this recipe but any raw organic millet should do the job. As for basmati rice, yes you can substitute it for wild rice. Wild rice is considered pseudo-grain, it is considered a complete protein with all nine essential amino acids. Additionally, it contains more fibre, potassium, and zinc than white and brown rice. After wild rice, basmati brown rice in my opinion is the next best option ;-)

There’s a myth revolving around the usage of metals with fermentation supposedly having negative effects (either to the fermentation process itself or of corrosion of the metallic item being used). This is NOT true about stainless steel, however one should be cautious about using aluminium, silver or copper with fermentation. Nonetheless, a lot of kitchen utensils, pots and pans these days are produced in stainless steel. Hoping this myth can be reasonably debunked and that recommendations from the fermenting community (which would be e.g. all of us?) can be tweaked as times (and materials used!) have changed. 😊 Thanks for the great content, and for sharing your lovely recipe!
