How to Make Farmer Bread Burebrot

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 500g bread flour and 10g salt.
  2. Add 10g active dry yeast to the flour mixture.
  3. Gradually add 300ml lukewarm water and 100ml buttermilk to the bowl. Using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix until a firm dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (approximately 1-1.5 hours).
  5. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  6. Gently turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a long oval and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Cover the shaped loaf loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Using a sharp knife, carefully score a lattice pattern into the top of the dough.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is deeply golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C). Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
