Tips:

  • If you're using dried leaf lettuce, be sure to rehydrate it in warm water for about 10 minutes before using.
  • You can use any type of flour in this recipe, but whole wheat or bread flour will give the bread a more hearty texture.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk.
  • Be sure to knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • When shaping the dough, be sure to tuck the edges underneath so that the bread doesn't spread out too much in the oven.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Leaf lettuce bread is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional bread. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're looking for a nutritious breakfast, lunch, or dinner option, leaf lettuce bread is a great choice. It's also a great way to use up leftover leaf lettuce.
