It is also high in fiber and beta-glucan that may help control blood sugar levels and lower cholesterol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barley has the lowest score on the glycemic index, making it more suitable for diabetics or people on a low-carb diet. Unlike other grains, it won\u2019t spike blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nutritional Information<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Half a cup or 100 grams of raw, hulled barley has:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>354 Calories<\/li><li>73.5 grams of Carbohydrate<\/li><li>17.3 grams of Fiber<\/li><li>12.5 grams of Protein<\/li><li>2.3 grams of Fat<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Vitamins and Minerals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Copper&nbsp;25% Recommended Daily Intake (RDI)<\/li><li>Folate&nbsp;5% RDI<\/li><li>Iron&nbsp;20% RDI<\/li><li>Magnesium&nbsp;33% RDI<\/li><li>Manganese&nbsp;97% RDI<\/li><li>Niacin&nbsp;23% RDI<\/li><li>Phosphorus&nbsp;26% RDI<\/li><li>Potassium&nbsp;13% RDI<\/li><li>Riboflavin&nbsp;17% RDI<\/li><li>Selenium&nbsp;54% RDI<\/li><li>Thiamine&nbsp;43% RDI<\/li><li>Vitamin B6 16% RDI<\/li><li>Zinc&nbsp;18% RDI<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Barley also contains antioxidants in the form of beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamin B12. These protect cells from oxidative stress and can help in their repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Barley Flour Rise With Yeast?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason wheat flour rises so well is due to the presence of gluten. There is some gluten in barley flour, but it isn\u2019t sufficient to make it rise efficiently. For this reason, if you want to make bread using barley flour, you will either have to mix it at a ratio of 20:80 with wheat flour or add additional gluten to the barley flour.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flatbreads that have a denser consistency to yeast-risen ones have been traditionally made with barley flour for 1000\u2019s of years. Baked goods can also be made using barley flour when mixed 50:50 with wheat flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yeast Risen Barley Bread Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you can substitute barley flour for 20% of the wheat flour in traditional bread recipes, you can also make bread using yeast with 100% barley flour if you add extra gluten to the mix, as we will show you in this yeast-risen barley bread recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WxiKmOckko0\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Making Yeast Risen Barley Bread\" title=\"Play video &quot;Making Yeast Risen Barley Bread&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WxiKmOckko0<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WxiKmOckko0\" title=\"Making Yeast Risen Barley Bread\">Making Yeast Risen Barley Bread (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WxiKmOckko0)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All barley flour bread will be denser than its wheat flour counterparts, but they are also very delicious and more suitable for people on a low-carb diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Barley flour \u2013 4 \u00bd cups<\/li><li>Wheat gluten \u2013 4 tablespoons<\/li><li>Salt \u2013 2 teaspoons<\/li><li>Yeast \u2013 2 tablespoons or one packet<\/li><li>Honey \u2013 1 tablespoon<\/li><li>Olive oil \u2013 2 tablespoons<\/li><li>Lukewarm water \u2013 2 cups<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Preheat the oven to the lowest setting and allow it to warm while making the bread dough.<\/li><li>Line two loaf tins with parchment paper.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Dissolve the honey in the warm water.<\/li><li>In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients flour, gluten, salt, and yeast, keeping 1 \u00bd cups of the flour back for later.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Add the oil and honey water to the bowl, gently mixing them together until well blended.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Let the mixture stand for a few minutes.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Add the remaining flour, and, using your hands or a dough hook attachment on a mixer, mix well together.
