COMING THIS WEEK...COFFEE GIBASSIER⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ COMING THIS WEEK...COFFEE GIBASSIER⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On Thursday, we'll be sharing our coffee gibassier recipe with @SourdoughClub members. This delicious, sweetened bread from the south of France is made using olive oil instead of butter. It is usually flavoured with orange peel and anise, but my version is a coffee gibassier.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Surprisingly, coffee can be good for the gut (in sensible amounts). It can help reduce stress in healthy individuals, and could protect the brain from age-related mental deterioration and inflammation. There are studies showing that coffee can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and may also increase the activity of probiotic Bifidobacteria in the gut.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This recipe follows our 7 core principles:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Increase fibre 🌾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Using Botanical Blend No.4 can nourish your gut microbiome⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Increase diversity 🌱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Using a blend also increases the diversity score to 34!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ferment 🍞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sourdough fermentation can increase the bioavailability of all those amazing ingredients within your bake⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Increase levels of antioxidants 🍇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can do this with the coffee inclusion!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Increase probiotics in your bakes 🥛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Probiotics have been shown to support stress resilience and mood, and they are contained within the gibassier dough and glaze⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Reduce refined sugar 🍯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This recipe contains coconut sugar in the dough instead of refined sugar⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make lifestyle changes that support the body as a whole 💚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mindful eating and mindful baking are great ways to support mental health⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Tips for using Walnuts in Sourdough⁣.⁣
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
“Growing up in the Dordogne I practically lived off walnuts. They grow everywhere. I planted a walnut tree in the garden when we arrived... in fact, my father in law gave it to us. It’s not big enough to produce more than 4 walnuts a year yet, but I have high hopes.⁣
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
There are a few human clinical intervention trials that show a heart-healthy diet with walnuts can lower blood cholesterol levels and they are delicious, however as an inclusion on your bread and one of the drawbacks of using walnuts in sourdough is that they have natural chemical, juglone, which demonstrates antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal activities, and it is strongest when the nuts are at their freshest and most delicious. It makes sense really - they want to sprout and turn into a tree not become food for fungus... or us for that matter…⁣
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
So the best tip I can share is to add them in later.  This way your micro-organisms – i.e. the yeast and the lactic acid bacteria have had plenty of time to develop and adding them in later will not disrupt the gluten structure.⁣”
