 1 cup or 250ml  Bread Flour
 1 cup or 250ml  Water
 1 tbsp or 15ml  Yeast
   
 Coffee Bread  
 1 cup or 250ml  Water
 5 tsp or 25ml  Instant coffee grounds
 2 1/2 cups or 675ml  Barley flour 
 1 1/4 cups or 310ml  Bread flour
 2 tbsp or 30ml  Instant yeast
 1 tbsp or 15ml  Milk powder
 1 1/2 tsp or 7ml  Salt
 2 tbsp or 30ml  Vital gluten

Starter:  To make starter, combine all ingredients.  Cover and let sit at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours. The longer the starter sits, the sharper the flavor.

Coffee Bread:  To make bread, dissolve coffee in water.   Add barley flour and let mixture rest for 1 hour.

Sift together bread flour, yeast, powdered milk, salt, and Vital Gluten and add to the barley flour mixture.  Add remaining ingredients and mix until gluten develops.  The dough will be elastic-like. Cover and let rise until 1.5 times its original size.

Using additional bread flour, knead and then shape into loaves. Let rise until 1.5 times original size and bake at 400ºF for 30 to 45 minutes.
