    Categories: Breads, Stews   
         Yield: 2 Servings   
      
   MMMMM----------------BAPPIRU "BEER-BREAD", (SOURD---------------------   
        14 oz Barley seeds   
       3/4 c  Water; warm   
       1/2 ts Salt   
      
   MMMMM---------------------------BROTH--------------------------------   
       1/2 oz Kurrath or spring onion   
       1/4 oz Cilantro   
         2 cl Garlic   
     3 1/2 oz Leeks   
         2 tb Oil of untoasted sesame   
     6 1/4 c  Water   
       1/2 ts Salt; or to taste   
      
     Bappiru "Beer-Bread" (Sourdough):   
      
     Wash the seeds and soak them in water overnight. Dry them, toast them   
     lightly, and then grind them into flour.   
      
     Make the flour into dough by adding warm water. Let it ferment slowly   
     for about 12 hours in the refrigerator.   
      
     Shape dough into clumps, sprinkle them with salt, and bake them in a   
     medium-hot oven (375?F) for about 20 minutes, or until they are   
     done. Let the bread cool completely and then coarsely crush it.   
      
     Broth:   
      
     Chop kurrath or spring onion and cilantro, and set aside.   
      
     Pound the garlic and leeks together into paste using a mortar.   
      
     Heat the sesame oil in a pot and add the mashed garlic and leeks,   
     stirring constantly, until they start to produce a pleasant aroma, a   
     few minutes.   
      
     Add water and salt, stir the pot, and let it simmer gently for about 1   
     hour. About 15 minutes before the pot is done, stir in the set-aside   
     chopped leeks and cilantro.   
      
     Just before removing the pot from the fire, scatter the crushed bread   
     all over the stew, give it a gentle stir, and then serve it.
