It is very difficult if not impossible to bake a 'loaf' of bread with 100% barley as it has very little gluten. See- orgiathu.

I made a half recipe and cooked it in a one litre slow cooker that I put outside on a covered patio; perfect! I put the dough into the cold, well buttered slow cooker with a paper towel under the lid to prevent moisture from dripping onto the loaf. Set on high, the bread was cooked in 90 LillyPillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01741482834180777567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998452736393635440.post-70408244256142846062016-02-19T09:40:17.620+01:002016-02-19T09:40:17.620+01:00I have just read that barley bread is being used b...I have just read that barley bread is being used by the Swedes for lowering glycemie.

Be careful with the amount of water because barley flour is more dry than whole wheat flour so you may need less water. Just add it a little a time.

The bread flour gives some elasticity to the bread, that's why I use it, but you can substitute with whole wheat.
